Novo Nordisk Approved to Launch New Diabetes Treatment in China

Novo Nordisk won CFDA approval for its latest diabetes treatment, Tresiba, in China . The Danish company said Tresiba is a once-daily injection that controls blood sugar levels in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. Novo Nordisk compared Tresiba, an insulin deduglec, to insulin glargines such as Lantus from Sanofi.
