Who accepts used blood glucose meters for reuse?
Tired of Outdated Programs asked:
Due to a change in my insurance plan, I will have either have to pay a lot more for my test strips and other suppliers or get a new blood glucose meter. I have decided to get a new meter.

Does anyone accept old meters so that they can be distributed to others who can not afford a meter or for some other purpose? My meters are relatively current models - One Touch Ultra series.
After recieving the first four answers, I was a bit disappointed. There are people all over the world who have diabetes and who can not access the so called “free” meters from the manufacturers. I am looking for an organization who accepts used meters and who has the resources to distribute them as well as the supplies that are needed to use the meters. For anyone who say a used meter is useless, please open up your mind to all the possibilities……….

The costly strips it to someone that is too expensive for you want to use and you to use and you want to use and you want to someone that cannot even afford meter that cannot even afford meter that is too.
For you want to give away meter let alone the costly strips it usesnow thats helpful.

As your last responder said, used meters are pretty much useless. Free meters are easy to get. If you have leftover supplies, like unused lancets … you may be able to find someone who can use them.
