"The report contained graphs showing how Novo has raised the price on its rapid-acting insulin Novolog by 628% since 2001 by hiking the price 28 times. The price hikes happened in almost perfect lockstep with rival Eli Lilly's Humalog insulin product.

Similarly, Novo raised its prices for its long-acting insulin Levemir drug 18 times, by a total of 360% between 2006 and 2019. This happened in tandem with Sanofi's price hikes on its Lantus product."
