The greening of diabetes
Summary
This article examines efforts by diabetes care stakeholders to reduce the environmental impact of plastics used in diabetes devices and supplies, discussing innovations in device sustainability and the collaborative industry approach emerging to reduce the pharmaceutical sector's plastic footprint. The piece highlights both progress and remaining challenges in greening the materials used for insulin delivery, glucose monitoring, and related diabetes management tools.
Here, Mark Greener discusses the work of key diabetes stakeholders in reducing the environmental footprint left by plastics used in diabetes care, innovations in diabetes device sustainability, and the collaborative approach that is emerging across the pharmaceutical industry for the good of the planet.

Exploring the micro- and nanoplastics–diabetes nexus: Shattered barriers, toxic links, and methodological horizons
This review examines growing evidence that micro- and nanoplastics may contribute to diabetes by disrupting blood sugar regulation, insulin signaling, and fat metabolism through oxidative stress and inflammation. Animal studies show that plastic particles can damage the pancreas, liver, and gut in ways that mirror the development of diabetes, though human studies are still limited. The review calls for more research into whether everyday microplastic exposure could be a hidden factor in the global rise of metabolic diseases.
Actionable avenues for dermatologists to reduce their environmental impact
This commentary outlines actionable steps dermatologists can take to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare delivery, including minimizing single-use plastics, reducing regulated medical waste, and implementing green procurement policies. Researchers highlighted opportunities for reassessing procedure kits, minimizing medication waste, and promoting environmentally conscious practices. The study underscores that healthcare settings are significant contributors to plastic waste and offers practical strategies for reducing that footprint.
Emerging Contaminants: An Emerging Risk Factor for Diabetes Mellitus
This review examines how emerging environmental contaminants, including microplastics and nanoplastics, may contribute to the development and progression of diabetes. These contaminants can disrupt glucose metabolism through oxidative stress, inflammation, and interference with hormone signaling. The findings suggest that chronic exposure to microplastics and other pollutants in food and water could be an overlooked risk factor for the growing global diabetes epidemic.
How Should US Health Care Lead Global Change in Plastic Waste Disposal?
This article argues that US health care must lead global change in plastic waste disposal by assigning accountability to organizational leaders, implementing circular supply chains, and collaborating across medical and waste industries to reduce environmental harm.
The Hidden Dangers of Plastic Use in the Food Industry: Implications for Diabetes and Public Health
This review examines health risks from plastic use in food processing and packaging, documenting how microplastics, nanoplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals leach from food contact materials into food and may contribute to immune dysfunction, metabolic disorders, and diabetes risk.
