Novo Nordisk A/S lifted its share of the global diabetes market to 33.8% in 2023 from 31.9% a year earlier driven by demand for its glucagon-like-peptide-1 medicines for type 2 diabetes. These drugs, Ozempic, Victoza and Rybelsus, help manage blood sugar by triggering the pancreas to release more insulin. Novo generated revenue of DKK123 billion ($17.81 billion) from the three medicines in 2023, representing 53% of group sales.
