Ok guys,

My Uncle has been a diabetic for years now and got tired of his "OLD" testing meter so he decided to buy a new one. He asked what he should do with all the testing supplies and I said if they arent open, seal isnt broke and they are still good and not expired I am sure someone would buy them who could use them.

He has over 40 boxes of the Thereasense Freestyle Lancets that he isnt going to use. And also test strips for the Freestyle Meter or Freestyle Flash Meters.. Anyhow if anyone is a diabetic or has someone in their family who is and could use these please let them know. These boxes off 100ct Lancets sell for around $9 on the net and a bit more in the stores.. Willing to sell them all as a Entire Lot for pretty cheap..

Drop me a pm if yor interested...

the lancets are pretty universal....I've used a number of different types from a number of manufacturers in my current lancing device and never had a real problem....The strips I can't help you with

Hello Chris,
That is 40,000 or so lancets plus the test strips...LOL All kidding aside if you don't find a user here than can use them I would suggest donating them to low income clinics and elderly care facilitys in your area. I am diabetic, but all of my needs are covered through the veteran's hospital, but I still know how costly it can be to buy lancets and test strips. I am sure those clinics would appreciate the donation and give your dad a tax write off. Something to think about any way.

Thanks Belassis

We thought about that, I called several dr's offices here locally and no one could take them because they are medical supplies. Go figure but I then called a few Senior Citizen homes and found 2 that would take them so I dropped them all off today. They were state ran so I guess they can use all the help they can get at times.. Rather see them put to use and not just make some money..

BTW it was a great idea thanks again
