My Grandparent Has Extra Diabetic Supplies — What Should I Do?
If your grandparent recently changed their treatment routine, moved into assisted care, or simply stocked up over the years, you might discover extra diabetic supplies in their home — and not know what to do with them.
Can you donate them? Should you throw them away? Or can you actually sell them?
Here’s a gentle, respectful guide to handling the situation.
👵 Why Grandparents Often Have Extra Supplies
It’s more common than you think. Older adults with diabetes may accumulate unused supplies when:
They switch from test strips to a CGM like Dexcom or Libre
They move into assisted living and stop managing their own care
Their doctor changes brands or prescriptions
They stop needing certain supplies entirely
This often leaves families — especially younger relatives — wondering what to do with sealed, unused boxes.
✅ You Can Sell Them If:
You can legally sell diabetic supplies if:
They are unopened, sealed, and unexpired (6+ months left)
They were paid for by your grandparent (not rented or claimed by insurance)
They’re in good condition (no moisture damage or crushed packaging)
Even if you’re not their legal guardian, as a close family member you can usually sell the supplies on their behalf if they no longer need them.
