What to do with leftover gestational diabetes supplies

Gestational diabetes affects roughly 10–15% of pregnancies in the United States. It requires daily blood glucose monitoring using test strips, lancets, and sometimes CGM sensors. When pregnancy ends and gestational diabetes resolves, remaining supplies are no longer needed. Most people let them expire. They don't have to.

What gestational diabetes supplies can you sell?

• Blood glucose test strips — Sellable. Accu-Chek Guide, OneTouch Verio, Contour Next, FreeStyle Lite. Factory-sealed boxes with 4 or more months to expiry qualify.
• Lancets — Not on our buy list right now. Sealed boxes are easy to donate locally.
• FreeStyle Libre sensors — Sellable. Libre 2 and Libre 3 sensors are among the items we buy.
• Glucometers/readers — Sometimes sellable. Value varies by brand and condition.
• Insulin supplies — Not sellable. Needles, syringes, insulin cannot be legally resold. Use a sharps collection program.

Is it legal to sell leftover gestational diabetes supplies?

Yes — with the same rules as all diabetic supply resale. Supplies purchased through private insurance or out of pocket are your personal property, legally sellable in all 50 states, as long as they're factory-sealed, unexpired, and not Medicare or Medicaid-labeled.

When to sell — timing matters

Gestational diabetes typically resolves within 6 weeks of delivery. At that point, your remaining supplies still likely have 12+ months until expiration — peak resale value. Don't wait. Every month reduces the expiration window and reduces your offer. Submit a quote shortly after your postpartum glucose test confirms normal levels.
