Novo Nordsk to Discontinue Levemir:

What to Do If Your Insulin Is Being Discontinued

https://www.verywellhealth.com/levemir-discontinued-how-to-switch-insulin-8557836

Excerpt:

Novo Nordisk is discontinuing one of its discounted insulin brands, Levemir, because of manufacturing issues, decreasing patient coverage, and the availability of alternative treatments.

Levemir is a long-acting insulin that’s used to control high blood sugar levels in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

There are alternative insulins that could replace Levemir; however, endocrinologists and doctors advise patients to check in with their healthcare provider before making a switch.
**********

Article doesn’t go into detail but Novo Nordsk is maker of Ozempic and one of the reasons they are discontinuing Levemir is Ozempic. They are betting on FDA approval for iuse in obesity and a bigger market (in more ways than one).
