1.   The concern comes after a reported increase in deaths of diabetic patients, most relying on genetically engineered human insulin.

2.   There have been few controlled prospective studies of the effect of transferring to human insulin on the clinical presentation of hypoglycaemia.

3.   At least one vial of Nutropin contained human insulin.

4.   Diabetes Self-Management is dense with stories on topics such as managing your triglyceride levels and switching from animal to human insulin.

5.   Genentech also said Lilly was violating an agreement over sales of human insulin.

6.   Human insulin, which Genentech licensed to Eli Lilly, became the first drug created by genetic engineering.

7.   In theory, by inserting the gene for human insulin into bacteria, scientists could turn these microbes into drug factories.

8.   It has spawned such useful advances as bacteria that make human insulin and crops that resist insect attacks.

9.   Lilly said sales growth was led by Prozac, its anti-clogging drug ReoPro and its recombinant human insulin, Humulin.

10.   One of the early applications of this discovery was using bacteria as a factory to grow human insulin for diabetics.
