What Happens to the Diabetic Supplies I Sell To Test Strip Search?

This is a common question in our office.  Folks want to know what we do with the test strips we buy.  They want to know where there diabetic supplies end up.

We’ve had a lot of guesses from people.

Some clients have guessed that we use the gold from the diabetic strips we buy. (N0–there is gold in test strips, but not enough to recycle)

Some clients have guessed that the diabetic supplies they sell end up overseas. (NO-test strips are actually quite inexpensive overseas so exporting them does not make financial sense)

We’ve even had people speculate that we somehow return the diabetic supplies to the manufacturer for a rebate. (NO-manufacturers do not offer rebates or refunds on repurchased diabetic supplies)

What we actually do with the diabetic supplies we purchase is make sure that every single one of them gets used!  NO TEST STRIPS ARE EVER DISCARDED!  So, when you sell diabetic test strips you are making sure medical products that people need never end up in the trash!

Test Strip Search gets your supplies out to people who are underinsured or uninsured.  Your diabetic supplies get resold for a fraction of their retail value to folks who really need them.

Test Strip Search also donates diabetic supplies to seriously underprivileged folks in our local area.  If someone cannot afford diabetic testing supplies, Test Strip Search will find a way to get them the supplies they need.

We also sell many supplies to clinics in the US who then provide free or discounted diabetic test strips to their patients.

If expired or opened diabetic test strips make their way to Test Strip Search, we donate those diabetic supplies to our local humane society.  Yes!  Animals have diabetes too.  We help out the clinics by donating diabetic supplies that are unusable by humans.

Again, at Test Strip Search, no supplies are ever wasted!  We make sure every last test strip sold to us finds a place where it can be used.

We appreciate your support!
