• August KroghRelated: After visiting Toronto, Krogh and Marie helped bring insulin manufacture to Denmark.

• SugarRelated: Insulin helps coordinate the body's response to rising blood sugar after meals.

• GlimepirideRelated: The extra insulin released after glimepiride treatment produces its principal glucose-lowering effect.

• Hypokalemic periodic paralysisRelated: Insulin surges can shift potassium into cells and trigger attacks in susceptible people.
