Solution

Functional insulin produced by rDNA technology is better than the insulin used earlier because it is identical to human insulin, and therefore, it does not cause allergic reactions or immune responses. In contrast, insulin obtained from the pancreas of cattle and pigs often led to immunological reactions in the human body, making rDNA insulin safer and more effective for use.
