Insulin glargine molecule. Computer model showing the structure of insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin formed of the two chains A (violet) and B (green) that slowly release the active monomer. Insulin plays an important role in blood sugar regulation. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood causing diabetes.
