Green Digital Diabetes Waste Project

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to determine how people with diabetes are disposing of various products and devices and at what rates so that better devices with less waste can be designed in the future.

Detailed Description
-----------------
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.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| AID Group<br>We anticipate enrolling between 30 and 50 participants who will be recruited to participate in the Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system study. | |
| MDI + CGM Group<br>We anticipate that between 10 and 30 participants will be enrolled in the study and will be utilizing Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) therapy in conjunction with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). MDI therapy will be defined as administering three or more injections per day. | |
