Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AID Group

We anticipate enrolling between 30 and 50 participants who will be recruited to participate in the Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system study.

No interventions assigned to this group

MDI + CGM Group

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.

No interventions assigned to this group
