* Also, the timeline section is apparently copied from the corporate site. I don't know about copyvio, but most of that stuff is of little importance, so it should be stripped to the essentials. Anyone? I might do it some day. Muad 04:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This portion of the article makes it sound as if Novo is responsible for the creation of World Diabetes Day when in actuality they are one sponsor out of many and the corporation had little to do with it.  A List of the corporate sponsors can be found here: http://www.worlddiabetesday.org/en/the-campaign/world-diabetes-day-partners  I am new to wikipedia and unsure how to fix this.

replies: text: I don't particularly agree. The reference provided seems fine, and it does not claim any responsibility for 'creating' World Diabetes Day. In fact, it labels the campaign as that of the International Diabetes Federation, so I can not see what you are trying to sat. Taymaishu (talk) 05:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Upon re-read, Taymaishu is correct.  I think that I am having bias problems as I know someone who was involved in International Diabetes Federation, and I will not work on this article any more.  Thank you for your input. InfiniteThinking (talk) 00:14, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I have deleted a paragraph in the Translational Immunology section. The reason for doing this is that some statements in this paragraph are not yet scientifically validated and peer reviewed and we have not been able to confirm the existence of the lecture that is referred to as source. Additionally some of the statements could also be regarded as promotional content. Kasper Kofod 14:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

message: :Behind Novo Nordisk lies a story about two Danish firms - Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium and Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium. Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium was founded by Hans Christian Hagedorn, August Krogh and August Kongsted in 1923 in Copenhagen. 
:In 1922, August Krogh and his wife Marie Krogh travelled to the US. The couple had heard reports of people with diabetes being treated with insulin – a hormone discovered in 1921 by two Canadians, Frederick Banting and Charles Best. Marie Krogh was a doctor herself and also had type 2 diabetes. The couple returned to Denmark with permission to manufacture and sell insulin in Scandinavia. With the economic help from August Kongsted – the owner of Leo Pharmaceutical Products - Insulin Leo was marketed in 1923. 
:When Krogh and Hagedorn started manufacturing insulin, they hired Thorvald Petersen and his brother Harald Pedersen to build the machines for insulin production. However, Thovald Pedersen was fired from Nordisk and the two brothers decided to try to manu-facture insulin themselves. Thorvald and Harald Pedersen managed to produce a stable liquid insulin and marketed Insulin Novo in 1925.. The brothers named their firm Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium. Over the next decades the products were further improved, e.g. with focus on longer effect; nevertheless, there were still challenges to be met, and in the 1970s the new goal was to produce human insulin meaning that Novo would no longer depend on animal pancreases. In 1982, Novo succeeded and launched the world’s first insulin preparation identical to human insulin. 
:Nordisk marketed a genetically engineered human growth hormone in 1988 and Novo Nordisk is market leading in the world today in this area and introduced the world’s first liquid growth hormone in a pen system in 1999.   
 
:In 1989, Novo Industri A/S (Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium) and Nordisk Gentofte A/S (Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium) merged to become Novo Nordisk A/S, the world's largest producer of insulin with headquarters in Bagsværd, Copenhagen. In 2000 the company demerged into NovoZymes A/S and Novo Nordisk A/S.
:Research into bleeding disorders lead to the foundation of The Novo Nordisk Haemophilia Foundation in 2005 striving to improve access to care for people with haemophilia and allied bleeding disorders.

message: There are several news outlets covering payments made by Novo Nordisk to experts and groups in relation to its new drug. I don't write medical articles so I'll let others chose how to add it to the article.

message: This article badly needs updating to reflect the impact of Ozempic and Wegovy on Novo Nordisk's recent success. At the moment, Ozempic is mentioned only once (on the sidebar) and Wegovy zero times. Given that these drugs are powering the company (and the Danish economy), this suggests that this article is in need of substantial revisions.
