About this study

The study aims to compare the amount of environmental waste that is generated during the management of diabetes of participants who are using a CGM and on multiple daily injection (MDI) or using an AID (automated insulin delivery) system. This study is expected to demonstrate which devices create the most waste and where opportunities exist to decrease diabetes device waste. We will collect data to describe both quantitatively (via daily survey) and qualitatively (via photography) the types of waste that are generated during the management of diabetes.
