Many people ask us why we offer to buy people's unused
diabetes test strips. The reason is simple: we know that diabetes can happen to anyone.
Most commonly you hear about this as a genetic disorder or
because of not controlling one's lifestyle or what they take into their body. However,
one factor that is not as common is part of the pancreas is taken out. We have
seen this happen to different people in different ways but there are key
components that these individuals need to do to control the way their body
absorbs sugars and the risks involved with not controlling diabetes.
Diabetes test strips help to determine the blood sugar
level. Based on the results some individuals adjust their doses of insulin while
others inform their doctors about the test results. In addition, they also may
adjust their diet based on the test results. When one insulin isn't working
sufficiently the doctor may advise the patient to change the type or name brand
of insulin to help their body balance out the sugar from the foods and drinks
they consume properly. When this happens the reader may also need to be
changed. So, the question is: can you get money for unused diabetes test
strips? The answer will vary based on a variety of factors but you can learn
more about that on our How it Works page.
