What is Insulin Peglispro?
Insulin peglispro is an experimental long-acting insulin that was designed to help people with diabetes control their blood sugar levels over an extended period of time. It works by attaching a molecule called polyethylene glycol (PEG) to a modified form of insulin, which slows how quickly the body absorbs and breaks it down. Although it showed promise in clinical trials, it was not approved for general use due to concerns about liver-related side effects.
