Description
Diabetes care changed slowly for centuries, then biotechnology rewrote it within a few decades. Eight authors trace that story in a 2024 review. It runs from ancient mentions of the disease to the insulin sequence of the 1950s and lab-made human insulin in 1982. From there they survey designer insulins and newer peptide drugs that act on gut hormone receptors, sometimes several at once.
The review then covers hardware: insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and systems that dose insulin on their own. It closes with cell-based hopes, including transplanted islet cells, lab-grown organoids, and efforts to rebuild the pancreas itself. Each step, the authors argue, tightens control of blood sugar for patients.
