Afrezza and Exubera are two different insulin delivery systems. The most notable difference between the two is:

the inhaler for Exubera is much larger than the inhaler for Afrezza.

an insulin molecule in circulating in your blood stream consists of

two chains of amino acids linked together by disulfide bonds

Today, most insulin in produced in a large factory by which types of organisms:

yeast of bacteria

The University of Toronto licensed a patent on the production of insulin to Eli Lilly. The agreement allowed Eli Lilly to manufacture and sell insulin. In return, Eli Lilly would give the University of Toronto

5% of Eli Lilly's net sales from the insulin

The HbA1c test is named after

A line of hemoglobin observed on a gel.

James Collip discovered that if he injected too much insulin into a rabbit it developed convulsions. This effect is known as:
