Losing a loved one is never easy. In the weeks and months that follow, families often find themselves sorting through cabinets, drawers, and closets full of medical supplies that are no longer needed. If your parent, spouse, grandparent, or another family member left behind unused diabetic supplies, you may be wondering what to do with them.
The good news is that unopened, unexpired diabetic supplies, including CGM sensors, insulin pump supplies, and test strips, can be sold for cash. You do not have to throw them away, and you do not have to let them expire. DiabeticDrop makes it easy to turn those supplies into money while ensuring the products help other people who need affordable diabetes management tools.

How to Check If the Supplies Are Sellable
Before contacting us, a quick check will help determine if the supplies have value:
Are they unopened? The boxes and packaging must be sealed. If the box has been opened, even if the product inside appears unused, we cannot purchase it.
Are they expired? Check the expiration date printed on the box. Products with 6 or more months remaining receive the best pricing. Products with shorter dates are accepted at reduced rates. Recently expired products may still have value depending on the type.
Are they in good condition? Minor dings or creases on the box are fine. Severely damaged, water-stained, or torn packaging may affect eligibility and pricing.
Were they obtained through government programs? Supplies obtained through Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE, or other government-funded programs cannot be legally resold. If you are unsure, we can help you determine eligibility.
Do not attempt to remove prescription labels. This often damages the box and reduces the value. DiabeticDrop professionally removes and destroys all prescription labels to protect your family’s personal information.

Other Situations Where Families End Up With Extra Supplies
It is not just the passing of a loved one that leaves families with unused diabetic supplies. You may find yourself in this situation if:
- A parent or grandparent has moved into an assisted living facility and their treatment plan has changed
- A spouse or partner has switched from one CGM system to another
- A family member has been placed on hospice care and their diabetes management has been simplified
- You are a caregiver who managed supplies for someone who no longer needs them
- You discovered unused supplies while cleaning out a home or estate
- A family member donated their supplies to you but you do not use that brand or system
All of these situations are common, and in every case, the unused supplies have real cash value.
Working With Assisted Living Facilities and Hospice
If you manage or work at an assisted living facility, retirement community, or hospice provider, DiabeticDrop offers recurring supply pickup partnerships. When residents change therapy, move, or pass away, their unused diabetic supplies often go to waste. We provide a responsible and profitable alternative.
We serve facilities throughout Chicago and South Florida and can arrange regular pickup schedules. Contact us at 866-390-1333 to discuss a partnership.
