Is it legal to sell diabetic test strips?

“Is it against the law to sell diabetic test strips?”

This is one of the most common questions we get here at Test Strip Search.  If you have extra diabetic strips, you might be wondering if selling diabetic strips is legal.

The good news is, yes, it is completely legal to sell your diabetic test strips.  As long as you obtained your test strips legally (they are not stolen,) you are free to use them, give them away or sell them.  Just like any other product, you could sell your strips at a garage sale or give them away to a friend.  You are the owner of the diabetic test strips.  Diabetic strips are not a regulated item and if you have extra you are not going to use, not only is it legal to sell these diabetic test strips, it is ethical.  You are keeping the diabetic test strips in circulation and they are not ending up in a landfill unused.

It is a shame if diabetic test strips that aren’t needed are thrown away.  The cost of diabetic supplies at the retail stores is outrageous and so many people cannot easy pay the high prices charged at pharmacies.

Selling your extra diabetic supplies results in a mutually beneficial situation–you get extra money for items you don’t need and another diabetic benefits when they can buy test strips at cheaper prices.

Test Strip Search always keeps client and customer information private.  We are grateful that you help us provide low cost diabetic supplies to other diabetics.  We have helped thousands of individuals get the diabetic supplies they need.
