Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk (NOVOb.CO) missed forecasts for third-quarter profit and sales and gave a smaller than hoped growth outlook for next year, capped by a weakening dollar and slower growth of some of its best-selling drugs.

The world's biggest insulin producer, which faces intensified competition in the fast-growing diabetes market as the world faces an epidemic of type 2 diabetes tied to over-eating and lack of exercise, said it expects high single-digit percentage operating profit and sales growth next year.
