Health Headlines: Insulin Withdrawal, Birth Certificate Ruling, Bird Flu Alert

Recent health news highlights Novo Nordisk's scrutiny over Levemir insulin removal, Tennessee's court ruling against gender identity birth certificate changes, and Colorado's presumptive human bird flu cases. Democratic Senate aides will meet Novo Nordisk executives, and Colorado reports three mild cases among poultry workers, as confirmed by the CDC.

Novo Nordisk is facing increased attention from Capitol Hill following their decision to pull Levemir insulin from the U.S. market. Senate aides are set to discuss the repercussions of this move in a meeting with Novo Nordisk executives, involving Senators Shaheen, Warnock, and Warren. The decision, announced last November, has raised significant alarm.

Meanwhile, a federal appeals court has upheld Tennessee's policy against changing the sex on birth certificates. The court's 2-1 decision underscored that the Constitution does not mandate the state to alter biological sex listings, impacting four transgender women who filed the challenge.

In another development, Colorado has reported three presumptive cases of H5 bird flu among poultry workers. According to the CDC, the infected workers experienced only mild symptoms. The infections were reported from a facility grappling with an H5N1 avian flu outbreak.
