    general resistance to insulin. The physiological stress that is associated with damaged muscle impairs how insulin stimulates IRS-1, PI 3-kinase, and Akt-kinase. This presumably leads to less glucose absorption. Previous studies have shown that there has been temporary insulin resistance due to the physiological stress associated with muscle damage. However, the molecular mechanisms by which physiological stress induces insulin resistance is not known. The many effects that insulin has on metabolism

Insulin comes in a number of different types including short acting (such as regular insulin) and long acting such as NPH insulin. It is also may include: low blood sugar levels, skin reactions at the site of injection and low potassium levels among others(ASH,2014). Insulin was first used by Canada Charles Bestfrederick Banting. Insulin helps regulate sugar in the blood stream and also stores excess

    Packaging and Formulation Insulin is considered to be a heat sensitive product which needs to be maintained at certain optimum temperatures for it to work effectively. The transportation from the laboratory to the consumer has to be taken into consideration as all temperature variation can cause the efficiency of the treatment to decrease. (Lens, 2010) In fact, there have been studies conducted which prove that if insulin is placed outside for more than 2 mins of time it will cross its critical +8°C
