Novo Nordisk agreed to cap insulin prices to settle a lawsuit in which Minnesota's attorney general accused the three largest insulin makers of charging astronomically high prices for the diabetes drug.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says his office has settled with the last of the three largest insulin manufacturers following its 2018 lawsuit over unaffordable prices that led several diabetics to ration their medications with fatal consequences.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison settled with insulin manufacturers Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk, guaranteeing that Minnesotans can purchase a month’s supply of Eli Lilly and Sanofi insulin products for just $35 for the next 5 years.
