Abstract

Batteries are an essential component of many medical products used for diabetes therapy. The increased use of such products comes along with millions of batteries that are disposed of every year. The design of these products should enable the recycling of batteries as they contain a significant number of valuable resources. Regulations in the United States and the European Union concerning batteries used in medical products are changing toward requiring and supporting establishing recycling procedures. Currently, respective programs are active only in some countries. A greener diabetes therapy would include more attention to reducing usage and disposing of batteries.

电池在糖尿病技术设备和回收：需要生态设计。

电池是许多用于糖尿病治疗的医疗产品的重要组成部分。随着这类产品使用量的增加，每年有数百万个电池被丢弃。这些产品的设计应该能够回收电池，因为它们含有大量有价值的资源。美国和欧洲联盟关于医疗产品中使用的电池的法规正在朝着要求和支持建立回收程序的方向转变。目前，各项目仅在部分国家开展。更环保的糖尿病治疗将包括更多地关注减少电池的使用和处理。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (JDST) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Diabetes Technology Society. JDST covers scientific and clinical aspects of diabetes technology including glucose monitoring, insulin and metabolic peptide delivery, the artificial pancreas, digital health, precision medicine, social media, cybersecurity, software for modeling, physiologic monitoring, technology for managing obesity, and diagnostic tests of glycation. The journal also covers the development and use of mobile applications and wireless communication, as well as bioengineered tools such as MEMS, new biomaterials, and nanotechnology to develop new sensors. Articles in JDST cover both basic research and clinical applications of technologies being developed to help people with diabetes.
