A news article in today's Wall Street Journal describes a new implantable insulin pump, and mentions pharmaceutical companies--Merck and others--that have winning oral meds for diabetes.
Sadly, Eli Lilly, a company that just a few years ago owned a "franchise" on diabetes care, was not mentioned even one time.
It's over. It's sad.
Lilly Diabetes Hitting Rock Bottom? Lilly Diabetes hit rock bottom about 5 years ago. Lilly has been a joke in this market for a long time. All that they can do now is either hugely rebate Humalog to get an exclusive managed markets win at a profit loss or enter into a co-marketing agreement with another company that will fail within 2 years.
The issue with Lilly is simple: INNOVATION. There has been NONE for a long time now.
do your homework, slackers. Lilly is poised to have the best range of meds in the business and will be able to trump anyone when contracting. So, throw out false rumors wherever you want, Lilly's about to dominate diabetes again and the competition is starting to freak out.
That was some good cool-aid. Can I have some more?do your homework, slackers. Lilly is poised to have the best range of meds in the business and will be able to trump anyone when contracting.

Good god. This isn’t even kool-aid. They’re flat out lies. Our revenue increases have been fueled by price increases for as long as I’ve been here (10 years). Recently came to DBU and the diabetes products and pipeline are a joke. Commodity insulins, 3rd to market add-ons and combos not viable at the payer level and contracting with a desperate co-promotion company, oh forgot about the generic basal that will sell itself.
top that off with management that is notoriously accredited in the industry for being the worst of the worst, lacking experience, integrity and not held accountable for their own juvenile misbehavior and well…lets just say, get your resume out!!!
I have 15 years of pharma sales experience, with about 4 years selling diabetes meds. Won 3 national awards. Recently applied to Lilly for a diabetes sales position....didn't even get a phone interview. Instead, I got a generic email stating that I "don't have the right match of skills required for the position". Really? What a pathetic company. They can't even send an email that just says "we've selected another candidate". Instead, they have to insult my intelligence. FU Eli Lilly!
Lilly now only hires cheap labor or relatives. Sad.
