Medical products used by patients with diabetes are increasingly used as they make treatment more safe and officious; however, all the light comes along with the shadow of trash production.
As such products are produced and used millions of times each day, the plastic material used for the products themselves and the packaging adds up to a huge amount of plastic waste.
Patients are well aware of this and start to complain about this. We see the need for acknowledging this issue and a change in our approach. A better balance between performance of the products and their environmental impact has to be found; however, diabetes technology and trash is a complex story with many different aspects.
