End of year — open enrollment is done, your new insurance kicked in, and you have a drawer full of supplies from your old plan. Maybe a different brand, maybe a different device. Here's your options.
Insurance plans change formularies (approved device lists) every year. Your Dexcom G6 might be replaced by a G7 prescription. Your OneTouch strips might switch to Freestyle. The old stock piles up.
If your old supplies were covered by private insurance (not Medicare/Medicaid), they're sellable. A full year of Dexcom G6 buildup could be worth $200–$500. Sell before they expire.
Mutual Aid Diabetes (mutualaiddiabetes.org) accepts supplies for redistribution to people who can't afford them. A good option if your supplies don't qualify to sell or are close to expiration.
If expiration is still 6+ months out, keeping a small emergency backup (1–2 sensors) is reasonable. But keeping the whole stockpile "just in case" is usually not a good use — they'll expire unused.
CGM sensors expire. Test strips expire. If you wait too long, a valuable stockpile becomes trash. A box of Dexcom G7 sensors with 4 months until expiration is worth up to $45. The same box at 2 months is worth $0 to a reseller.
💡 New year rule: check your backup supply stock every January. If anything has less than 4 months until expiration, sell it or donate it now.
