Human insulin is the name which describes synthetic insulin which is laboratory grown to mimic the insulin in humans. Human insulin was developed through the 1960s and 1970s and approved for pharmaceutical use in 1982. Before human insulin was developed animal insulin, usually a purified form of porcine (pork) insulin, was used.

Human Insulin
Human insulin is the name which describes synthetic insulin which is laboratory grown to mimic the insulin in humans. Human insulin was developed through the 1960s and 1970s and approved for pharmaceutical use in 1982.

1975
In 1975 human insulin was successfully synthesised by a team lead by Dr Teusche at the CibaGeigy in Basel, Switzerland.
1982
The first synthetic human insulins were approved by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for pharmaceutical use in 1982. The insulins, produced by Eli Lilly & Co were Humulin R (regular) and Humulin N (NPH).
1990s
In the 1990s a newer form of human insulins, called analogue insulin, were produced. Analogue insulins allowed for short acting insulins to act more rapidly and longer acting insulin to have, what is termed as, a flatter profile. In other words, the insulins do not have much of a peak action and therefore act more consistently over their duration.
