#87: Diabetes Dia-lemma: Can You Recycle Diabetes? A Climate Action Week Deep Dive with Packaging Expert Dom Silveira

Welcome to The Stripped Pod, where we have real, honest conversations about diabetes beyond the numbers.

On today's episode,  it is Climate Action Week, and we are talking about why diabetes creates so much medical waste. We've got a Diabetes Dia-lemma from a listener who feels guilty every time they open a new sensor, and we are bringing in a medical packaging expert Dom Silveira to tell us what's actually recyclable and what is entirely out of your control when it comes to medical recycling.
