Our goal is to make sure that no diabetic test strip expires or goes to waste!
There are many reasons that boxes are not used. The good news is that sometimes the person living with diabetes takes control of their eating and exercising habits and defeats the disease. Or sometimes a woman develops diabetes during pregnancy, but is not any more after the baby is delivered. These people may have extra boxes they do not need.
Unfortunately, there are also many not so good reasons that test strips are not used. More often than should happen, a patient does not test as often as he should. Worse yet, the patient dies and their family members are left with many boxes of unused strips.
On the other side of the coin, there are millions of people living with diabetes that do not have insurance and can’t afford to buy diabetic test strips at retail value. These people put their health at risk by not testing their blood sugar levels as often as they should, simply because they can’t afford it.
Diabetic Supply Rescue wants to help both sides of this problem. For people who have extra, unused boxes of test strips, we accept those boxes as donations. Instead of these boxes ending up in a landfill, we are helping Diabetics and their families and the environment by putting them to good use.
For people who can’t afford to pay retail for the strips, we offer test strips at greatly reduced prices, usually less than half of retail, or FREE if they cannot afford the reduced pricing.
DSR believes that all parties benefit from our services. People with extra strips can feel good about the strips not going to waste. People who are uninsured can obtain strips they otherwise couldn’t afford. We are keeping otherwise good product from ending up in a landfill, which helps the environment. Finally, we are making our efforts to help solve the health care crisis in this country, even if it is a small step, and without the government’s help.
