Beginning with discussion on the history of insulin therapy and associated physiology, the following chapters examine different types of insulin, and its delivery and uses for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A complete chapter is dedicated to analogue insulin, a sub-group of human insulin, which is laboratory grown but genetically altered to create either a more rapid acting or more uniformly acting form of the insulin (Diabetes.co.uk).
The final chapter covers adverse effects of insulin therapy and a detailed appendices section discusses storage of insulin, and injection sites and techniques.
