In recent years, it appears like lifestyle related disorders have killed more people than the natural ageing and life cycle. The same needle prick does have different impact on different individual, it's not as easy for everyone. This wealth of information coming from Vikrant Shrotria of Novo Nordisk about comforting diabetic patients from daily needles to weekly is certainly a breakthrough. The innovation and range of product pipeline to improve lifestyle conditions is a welcome development 👏

The real question is how much price would it be available for, even though there are insulin pumps and continuous monitoring meters large quantity of t1ds cannot afford it.

What a boon it is to have oral semaglutide in India, it has been a true game changer for people living with type 2 diabetes to manage their blood sugar and weight. I personally know of people within my family that are on this drug and it has completely changed the way they feel both physically and psychologically, not to mention their diabetes is completely under control. Novo Nordisk at its best in terms of bringing such innovations and truly changing diabetes!

Its already approved in Canada they have higher medical standards then India so then why the Hell is it taking time here !!!!!!

[@biswajithalder8556]

But oral semeglutide is very costly. Decrease the rate at least 75% . Otherwise mass public cannot afford the cost.
