People across the nation are selling their diabetic test strips to earn extra money and alleviate the costs for those that need them and can’t obtain what they need. There are certain circumstances in which test strips are rejected by buyers and when that happens, you can still donate them to a variety of worthy organizations.
If your test strips were paid for by government-based coverage such as Medicaid or Medicare, you can’t sell them. Test strips that can be sold must have a significant expiration date remaining. Expired test strips won’t provide the accurate reading that individuals need. Ideally, test strips should be in the original, unopened, and undamaged package.
People with diabetes rely on diabetic test strips to manage their disease and must test multiple times each day. The strips are expensive to buy over-the-counter and insurance doesn’t always pay for as many strips as people need. Test strips by one manufacturer won’t work in other brands of meters, further complicating the situation.
For those that want to donate their test strips, there are multiple options. In rural areas, some local medical clinics accept donations of test strips, lancets, and meters to help those in need. Even if they don’t conduct such a program, they may know of local organizations that do. Some hospitals and clinics in larger cities do the same and you can also ask your doctor if they know of any programs.
A hugely overlooked resource that can benefit from donated syringes, lancets, and test strips is animal shelters. Diabetes also affects dogs and cats. Social media can also be helpful if you have a surplus of diabetic supplies, as can placing an ad in local newspapers. Even if you can’t sell your test strips for some reason, there are numerous organizations to which you can donate test strips and other diabetic supplies to help those in need.
