Diabetic test strips may seem like such a small thing, but they’re critical for people with diabetes and can even mean the difference between life and death. People that sell their unused test strips can play an integral part in helping diabetics stay healthy.

As the cost of health care has continued to increase, it’s become more difficult for people to afford the test strips they need to test for blood sugar levels. Being able to test when needed is essential. Blood sugar levels that are too low are just as life-threatening as those that are too high. In the U.S., there are many reasons why individuals can’t afford test strips.

Uninsured

Even through the Healthcare Marketplace established by the Affordable Care Act, many people can’t afford the premiums. Deductibles can run as much as $10,000 per year before insurance covers any costs and the copays are beyond their financial resources.

Underinsured

Millions of individuals and families are underinsured, meaning their out-of-pocket costs exceed 5-10 percent of their annual income. An increasing number of employers have stopped offering healthcare insurance or only bare bones policies.

Low-income

Contrary to popular belief, all low-income families don’t receive help from Medicaid. They make just a few dollars over the income limits to qualify for assistance through government programs and must cover all their own costs.

Fixed Income

A large number of retired people fall into this category. They may rely solely on Social Security or have been forced to retire early and don’t yet qualify for Medicare. If they do qualify for Medicare, they’re still responsible for 20 percent of the cost.

Insurance Limitations

There are a significant number of insurance companies that limit the number of test strips that they will pay for each month, even if it contradicts what the patient’s physician says.

Helping Others

By selling your unused test strips, you’re recouping some of the money you spent and helping people that have few or no options. For a considerable portion of the population with diabetes, rationing the few test strips they do manage to obtain only places their health in further jeopardy. By selling your unused test strips, you’re making a significant difference in someone’s life.
