FDA panel to review Novo Nordisk's weekly insulin, icodec, amid concerns of low blood sugar risk for type 1 diabetes patients.

The FDA's Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee is set to review Novo Nordisk's once-weekly insulin, icodec, amid concerns of a higher risk of low blood sugar for patients with type 1 diabetes. The company has proposed labeling changes and the use of continuous glucose monitoring devices to mitigate the risk, but the FDA staff has noted the lack of clinical data supporting these methods. The FDA is not bound by the panel's recommendations, but usually follows them.
