If you have unused diabetic supplies, you have three good options: sell them for cash, donate them, or dispose of them safely. Which is right depends on whether the items are sealed and unexpired. Here’s how to decide.
Option 1: Sell sealed, unexpired supplies
Sealed, in-date test strips, CGM sensors, pump supplies, and monitors have real cash value. Selling them puts money back in your pocket and keeps usable supplies in circulation. Get a free quote to see what yours are worth.
Option 2: Donate
Some clinics, nonprofits, and community programs accept unexpired, sealed supplies for people who can’t afford them. Call ahead to confirm what they take. Note: supplies obtained through Medicare or Medicaid should be donated or disposed of — not sold.
Option 3: Dispose of safely
Opened, damaged, or expired items can’t be sold or donated. Ask your pharmacy about safe disposal, and use a sharps container for lancets and needles.
How to decide
- Sealed and unexpired, and you bought them? — Sell or donate
- Government-funded? — Donate or dispose, never sell
- Opened or expired? — Dispose safely
