Hello Jburd,   


According to Bernstein Research report from May 2005, sales of
diabetes-related drugs exceeded $12 billion.


Excerpts:

"Sales of diabetes-related drugs exceeded $12 billion in 2004,
according to a May 25 report by Bernstein Research. Diabetes-related
drug sales are expected to jump 12 percent annually through 2011
worldwide, compared to industry-wide sales growth of 6 percent, said
the Bernstein report.

Producing insulin is a big money-maker for the industry. Eli Lilly &
Co. (down $0.38 to $56.99, Research) and Novo Nordisk (up $0.21 to
$50.63, Research) each made more than $2 billion last year from
insulin and Sanofi-Aventis (down $0.50 to $43.80, Research) made $1
billion.

TZDs, pills that help the body make its own insulin, are also
profitable. GlaxoSmithKline (up $0.18 to $50.18, Research) made more
than $2 billion from TZD sales in 2004 and Takeda Pharmaceutical made
more than $1 billion.?

?The Bernstein report said 90 percent of the growth in diabetes drugs
will go to large cap companies, including Pfizer, Merck & Co.,
Novartis, Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Takeda, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk,
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Astra-Zeneca.?
