My Parent Has Extra Diabetic Supplies — What Should I Do?

Whether your parent recently transitioned into assisted living, switched devices, or simply has extra supplies from previous prescriptions, you might be left with a growing stack of unopened diabetic products.

So what now? Can you throw them away, donate them, or sell them? Here’s what to know.

🧓 Why Parents Accumulate Extra Supplies

This is actually super common — especially if your parent:

  • Changed brands (e.g., from test strips to a CGM)

  • Had automatic shipments still arriving

  • Transitioned to professional or in-home care

  • Was recently hospitalized or moved into assisted living

The result? Perfectly good diabetic supplies sitting unused.

✅ Can You Sell Them?

Yes — in many cases, you can legally and safely sell those supplies, as long as:

  • The boxes are sealed and unopened

  • The products are unexpired (at least 6+ months before expiration)

  • They are not being used or billed through insurance/pharmacy

  • The packaging is undamaged (no crushing, moisture, or label removal)

Even if you’re not their legal guardian, being a direct family member usually makes you eligible to sell on their behalf.

  • Dexcom G6 / G7 sensors and transmitters
