Abstract
A learned monk said — “Be wise in your actions today, so that you don’t regret tomorrow” This communication aims at creating awareness about disposal and recycling of waste that is generated in management of diabetes through Insulin Therapy. There is a growing urgency to not only earmark rules of medical waste disposal, but also develop & implement scientific practices to actively galvanize a nationwide movement for green use of insulin, which will prevent an adverse impact of diabetes waste on our environment.
