An executive order was signed in July 2020 that wouldn’t go into effect until Jan 22, 2021.

Reduce Diabetes Technology Waste Campaign 🍃

👉 Join us collecting and posting your diabetes waste throughout the whole month 🙋‍♀️💚💚

#ReduceDiabetesTechnologyWaste #Type1EU #EU #Europe #type1diabetes #type1strong #WeThePatients #WeHaveAVoice #WorldReefAwarenessDay ImageImageImage
We as a community have to speak up together, raising awareness with @Type1EU on the amount of waste #type1diabetes supplies can produce over 3, 7, 14, and 30 days.
These precious #t1d supplies save our lives every day but it breaks my 💔 to see the large amount of #waste they produce: plastic, packaging, sensors, needles, syringes, insulin pump parts, infusion sets, insulin pens, cartridges and vials, test strips, lancets, and so on.
