Do we know approximately why synthetic insulin is that slow, e.g. is it the delivery mechanism or is it the formulation?

You can speed this up by exercising the area it was injected into or even a hot shower to increase blood flow. There is also a new faster acting inhaled insulin, afrezza, but that won't work with the pumps discussed here.
