Companies that purchase diabetic test strips have some stringent rules in place for purchasing the devices – and for good reason. Test strips are an essential tool for people with the disease. An incorrect reading from a test strip can result in a life and death situation.

Anyone thinking of selling their excess test strips should ensure they’re dealing with a reputable company. The business should offer online quotes, pay for shipping, and include tracking. Shop around among different companies to get the best price for your extra strips. Before selling test strips, there are some top rules to remember.

• It’s legal to sell test strips as long as they weren’t paid for by a government-backed insurance plan, such as Medicaid or Medicare.
• They must belong to the seller and not be stolen.
• All sellers must be 18 years or older.
• Test strips must be in their original, sealed, unopened and undamaged package, and not be tampered with in any way. Strips that don’t meet those conditions will be destroyed.
• Each company has its own rules on expiration dates. Generally, test strips should have an expiration date of at least 10 months from the current date.
• The way the strips have been stored is also important. Strips that have been exposed to high levels of heat or cold, along with moisture or high humidity levels, are unacceptable. As long as the plastic container the strips come in hasn’t been opened, they should be acceptable.

Over 37 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes. That number doesn’t include the number of adults that are pre-diabetic or children with the disease. The cost of test strips isn’t cheap. While there are store brands that can cost as little as 20 cents each, name brand test strips can cost as much as $2 each when purchased over the counter.
