๐Ÿ›‘ Common Mistakes People Make When Selling Diabetic Supplies

Whether you're cleaning out a loved oneโ€™s medical cabinet or simply have extra supplies from a change in prescriptions โ€” selling diabetic products can be a smart way to recoup value and help others. But there are some easy mistakes that can cause you to get less money or even have your items rejected.

Hereโ€™s what to avoid when selling diabetic supplies:

โŒ 1. Removing Labels

Many people think peeling off a pharmacy or shipping label helps. In reality, removing labels can tear the box or leave sticky residue โ€” which lowers the resale value or makes it unfit for resale altogether.
Tip: Leave the labels on. Weโ€™re not concerned with personal info โ€” weโ€™re concerned with the integrity of the box.

โŒ 2. Sending Expired or Near-Expiring Products

We get it โ€” itโ€™s easy to lose track of dates. But if the box expires in under 6 months, it likely wonโ€™t qualify for resale.
Tip: Always check the expiration before sending. We recommend at least 6+ months from today.

โŒ 3. Damaging the Box

Crushed corners, ripped flaps, water damage โ€” even if the product inside is fine, damaged boxes are a big no-go for many buyers and pharmacies.
Tip: Store your supplies somewhere dry, cool, and safe from being squished.

โŒ 4. Sending the Wrong Product

Some people send the wrong model (ex: Dexcom G6 instead of G7) or individual pods instead of factory-sealed 5- or 10-packs.
Tip: Snap a clear photo of the front and back of the box before sending โ€” this helps us give an accurate offer.

โŒ 5. Forgetting Insurance Status

If the supplies were recently covered by insurance or still part of an active prescription โ€” they cannot legally be resold.
Tip: Only sell items that are fully paid for or no longer in use.

โŒ 6. Not Asking Questions

Unsure if something qualifies? Many people throw away valuable items simply because they didnโ€™t ask.
Tip: Text us a photo. Weโ€™ll let you know right away if it's eligible โ€” no pressure, no judgment.
