Novo Nordisk is based in Denmark and they did a lot of research. Of course, cherry picking the stuff Eli Lilly brought first makes it seem they are the ones driving the thing forward but it only makes sense in the wider contact and when compared with what other have done first as well.
Novo piggybacked on a ton of research especially with metformin done in the US. Let's not be delusional that Denmark is a bastion of cutting edge biological research

Except in this case, it is? All I read seems to point they did push the envelope a lot of times. Do you have some other reason to say this except "psht, get real, it's Denmark"
