Diabetes Finished Products (DFP)
DFP helps support Novo Nordisk as a leader in diabetes by providing a complete product portfolio of insulin and GLP-1 products and offers easy-to-use insulin delivery systems. DFP is the primary supplier of Novo Nordisk diabetes and obesity products for the US market and secondary supplier in certain other foreign markets.
