Imagine your loved one, sick from a disease that the world doesn’t fully
understand. What lengths would you go to in finding a way to make them
better? For our founder, Nobel Prize-winning scientist August Krogh, it was
to the edge of discovery with his pioneering work in insulin treatment for
diabetes. And his wife, Marie, was the first beneficiary—and our first patient.
Novo Nordisk has since become a world leader in diabetes care, driven by
that same deeply human approach to everything we do. Our patient-centric
philosophy has led to many innovations, including:
• Insulin analogs, the latest advancement over human insulins
• Revolutionary delivery devices that are simple to use
• Research, education and partnership initiatives that are pushing diabetes
to the forefront of global health—and giving patients a voice
Together, we can defeat diabetes in our lifetime.
