On July 21, 2021, Diabetes Technology Society convened the virtual Green Diabetes Summit. The event consisted of 23 representatives from key stakeholder groups based in both the United States and Europe. The purposes of the summit were to (1) provide background on the complexity of addressing sustainability-related issues, including waste management, of diabetes devices from many different perspectives along the products' life cycle stages, and (2) determine the feasibility and role of a coalition of stakeholders to find solutions, particularly in the design, use, and proper disposal of diabetes devices used in home care that no one stakeholder can resolve on their own.
