Lilly received FDA approval for Onswik, a once-weekly basal insulin for adults with type 2 diabetes, providing similar glycemic control with fewer injections compared to daily insulins. Onswik joins a market with existing weekly insulins like Novo Nordisk's Awiqli and has positive regulatory progress in the EU, Japan, and Mexico.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech, and 4 sources have reported it between 24 Sep 2026 and 26 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now offer patients a basal insulin that cuts injections by over 300 a year. This approval shakes up diabetes care and opens room to challenge daily insulin options.
