Selling Diabetes Test Strips

If you're a diabetic, you know that your blood sugar requires constant monitoring. But like others with the same condition, you're probably wise enough to keep a stash of diabetes test strips in case of there is a shortage in supply. Before you know it, you may discover that you really have a lot more than you need. If you get boxes regularly, you may notice the extras piling up. Maybe you no longer have to test as frequently as before. Or perhaps you may have shifted to a new brand of test strips and still have your old supply around.

 

If you used to test yourself during pregnancy and don't have to do it anymore, you may still have some boxes left that you don't know how to dispose of. Maybe you have a diabetic family member who just moved into a facility and has left a few extra boxes of the strips entrusted in your care. These are just some of the reasons you might have boxes of sealed and unexpired boxes of diabetes test strips. Can you really make money out of them? Yes! You sell test strips.

 

The question is, is it legal? Definitely, selling diabetes test strips is perfectly legit as long as you are the owner of them, of course. Anybody can buy them from you, whether or not they have a prescription; and you are always free to sell the strips as long as they're yours. Even boxes with a "not for resale" or "mail order only" mark can be sold. What these marks simply mean is that the test strips shouldn't be sold through a retailer.

 

So who buys diabetic test strips from individual sellers like you? Dealers who purchase diabetes test strips  are in it for the quick cash 4 test strips, but there's only one bottom line for all: someone looking for supplies but can't afford them will get them, either at a discount or totally free. Dealers will usually take brands they wouldn't typically purchase and then give them to diabetes charities or shelters.

 

In most cases, they are in the business because they have diabetes themselves, or have a loved one who does. This means their reasons for helping other diabetics are personal. But certainly, you'd like to know your dealer very well before you transact with them, so make sure you shop around. Repeat business will usually make you a precious customer who will get special treatment in terms of pricing your strips.
