Drugmakers led by Novo Nordisk A/S (NOVOB) and Merck & Co. (MRK) are increasing sales efforts for their top-selling diabetes drugs to grab as much of the market as possible ahead of a wave of new therapies. At the start of this year, Novo, the world’s biggest maker of insulin, directed its sales force to boost promotion of the company’s drug Victoza.
