If you’ve switched from finger-stick testing to a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), those unopened test strips you no longer need can be sold for cash. Instead of letting them expire, you can recoup some money and help someone who still relies on strips.
Why CGM users end up with extra strips
When you move to a Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre system, you often still have months of test strips on hand from past prescriptions. Many people also keep a meter as backup but never open the extra boxes.
Your options for unused test strips
- Sell them — turn sealed, in-date boxes into cash
- Donate them — some organizations accept unexpired supplies
- Keep a backup — hold one meter and box, sell the rest
- Dispose safely — for opened or expired strips, ask your pharmacy
