Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced naturally by the pancreas, specifically by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans. Its use in medicine is supported by robust scientific evidence, particularly in the management of diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by impaired insulin production or utilization, often due to pancreatic dysfunction. Insulin therapy is the gold standard for type 1 diabetes, where the pancreas is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and is also widely used in type 2 diabetes when oral medications are inadequate.

The pancreas, especially its head and body regions, is crucial for both endocrine (insulin and glucagon production) and exocrine (digestive enzymes) functions. When the pancreas is diseased or compromised, as in chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or after pancreatectomy, insulin therapy is required to compensate for the loss of endogenous insulin production. Clinical guidelines and decades of research confirm that exogenous insulin administration effectively maintains glucose homeostasis and supports the body in the absence or insufficiency of pancreatic insulin secretion.

There is no historical or traditional use of exogenous insulin prior to its discovery and isolation in the 1920s; its use is entirely grounded in modern biomedical science. In summary, the use of insulin to support the "Pancreas Head body system," meaning the endocrine function of the pancreas, is thoroughly scientifically validated.
