This not only increases hypoglycemia risk but may also reduce patient confidence in their treatment plan
They both only require weekly injections and come in autoinjector pens that make the process relatively easy, even for people squeamish around needles
The peptide is synthetically manufactured to ensure purity and consistency, but its amino acid sequence is identical to the naturally occurring fragment found in the human body
Specifically, 8 of the 11 sites are fully identical over the 10 residues spanning the P5 to P5 positions, and only two of the 11 cleavage sites have more than a single amino acid difference within the 10 residue span (Figure S1)
