Millions of people switched to GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro for diabetes or weight loss. When they switch, they often have a stockpile of unused diabetic supplies. Here's what you can — and can't — do with them.
The GLP-1 revolution — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Trulicity — has changed how millions of Americans manage type 2 diabetes and obesity. As these medications help people control blood sugar more effectively, many patients are left with something unexpected: boxes of unused diabetic test strips, lancets, and glucose meters they no longer need.
If that's you, you probably have questions: Can I sell these supplies? Is it legal? How much are they worth? And what about the GLP-1 medications themselves — can those be resold too?
Let's break it all down clearly.
This is where people get confused, so let's be direct:
The confusion arises because Ozempic users are also often diabetes patients who have test strips — and those strips are fair game. The medication itself is not.
If you switched to a GLP-1 medication and no longer need your traditional diabetes management supplies, here's what has real resale value:
All of these can be bought and sold legally, including by diabetic supply buyback companies like StripValue.
Three main scenarios drive the bulk of surplus diabetic supply sales:
1. Switched to GLP-1 therapy. When type 2 diabetics start Ozempic or similar drugs and achieve much better blood sugar control, they often need to test less frequently — or their doctor tells them to stop testing altogether since the medication manages it. They're left with months of test strips.
2. Switched from test strips to CGM. A patient who moves from finger-prick testing to a Dexcom G7 or FreeStyle Libre suddenly has no use for their strips, lancets, and meter.
3. Lost insurance or changed plans. When coverage changes, people stockpile supplies and then find themselves with more than they need.
For test strips and diabetic supplies to be sellable, they need to meet these basic criteria:
| Item | Typical Payout | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensors (2-pack) | $40–$65 | Most in-demand CGM |
| Dexcom G7 Sensors (3-pack) | $45–$70 | Very high demand |
| Dexcom G6 Sensors (3-pack) | $30–$55 | Still widely used |
| FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensors (2-pack) | $25–$45 | Good demand |
| OneTouch Ultra Blue Strips (100ct) | $20–$32 | Very common |
| Contour Next Strips (100ct) | $18–$28 | High volume |
| FreeStyle Lite Strips (100ct) | $15–$25 | Good demand |
| Accu-Chek Guide Strips (100ct) | $15–$22 | Moderate demand |
| Insulin pump infusion sets | $8–$20/box | Varies by brand |
The process is simple — designed for people who already have enough going on managing their health:
No haggling. No confusion. Surplus supplies that were gathering dust become money in your pocket — often $50–$200 per batch, sometimes more if you have CGM sensors.
Some Ozempic users also accumulate extra pen needles (the tips that screw onto the Ozempic pen). These are OTC in most states and technically resellable, but demand is low. We don't currently buy pen needles. Focus on test strips, CGM sensors, and insulin pump supplies for the best return.
Yes, as long as they meet our requirements (unexpired, factory-sealed, no Medicare/Medicaid labels). Six months of strips could be worth $100–$300+ depending on the brand and quantity. Get a quote — it's free and instant.
No. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and all prescription GLP-1 drugs cannot be legally resold. Only OTC diabetic supplies (test strips, CGM sensors, etc.) can be sold. Do not attempt to sell prescription medication — it's a federal crime.
Yes, absolutely. FreeStyle Libre 2 and Libre 3 sensors are two of our most-requested items. If you switched from Libre to Dexcom G7 (or vice versa), we'll buy whatever you have left.
No — federal law prohibits the resale of supplies that were dispensed through Medicare or Medicaid. We cannot accept these. If your boxes have a Medicare label, we're unable to purchase them.
