About this study

Official title: Green Digital Diabetes Waste Project: Quantifying the Amount of Environmental Waste Associated With Devices and Technology

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.

Read the 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT06071325
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AID GroupWe anticipate enrolling between 30 and 50 participants who will be recruited to participate in the Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system study.
MDI + CGM GroupWe 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Types and Amount of Diabetes Waste

    Types and Amount of Environmental Waste Related to Diabetes Management as Measured Quantitately by Survey and Qualitatively by Photos

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Florida State University at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Types and Amount of Diabetes Waste (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2024.
