Why People Have Unused Test Strips

Life changes — and so does your diabetes management. Here are the most common reasons people end up with more test strips than they need.

📡
Switched to a CGM
Upgrading to a Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre means your traditional test strips go unused. Don’t let them expire.
🔄
Changed Brands
Doctor recommended a different brand or your insurance coverage changed and now you have the wrong strips.
💊
New Medication
A new treatment plan or medication reduced how often you need to test, leaving boxes sitting untouched.
📦
Over-ordered
Auto-refills and 90-day supplies pile up fast. Many people have months of backup strips they’ll never use.
🕊️
Loved One Passed Away
Families are often left with large amounts of diabetic supplies. Selling them is a respectful way to give them new purpose.
🎁
Received as Gifts
Friends or family bought supplies that turned out to be the wrong brand or model for your needs.

My mom switched to a CGM and had about 12 boxes of Contour Next strips. I tried eBay first but it was a hassle. HDU paid more, faster, and with zero drama. Wish I’d found them sooner.

After my father passed away we had boxes of test strips we didn’t know what to do with. This service was a blessing — easy, respectful, and we got a fair amount for everything we sent.
