The introduction of protamine insulin by Hagedorn1 in 1936 was a major contribution, and in a large number of cases the diabetes is satisfactorily controlled with single daily injections of protamine zinc insulin. However, it is evident that its time action is too prolonged for ideal purposes. Postprandial glycosuria and nocturnal reactions occur in many patients, particularly those with severe grades of diabetes.
