Lilly CEO: 'New approaches' must be found to combat diabetes
CLEVELAND The CEO of drug maker Eli Lilly has called for a “wave of invention” to combat diabetes.
Speaking at the Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit, John Lechleiter said breakthroughs against the disease are needed as urgently today as a century ago, noting that the disease could create a “health and economic time bomb,” as 1-in-3 Americans are forecasted to have the disease by 2050.
