Or you could donate them to people with diabetes in developing countries. This info is cut & pasted from
http://www.iddtinternational.org/india/index.htm Slightly stangely, they ask for test strips, but not meters - might be worth emailing / phoning to check.
IDDT is part of an Australian organisation, 'Insulin for Life' [IFL]. IFL is a not-for-profit organisation based in Australia, which collects unwanted, unopened, in-date insulin and test strips to send developing countries as part of a humanitarian aid programme. IDDT is the UK arm of IFL and we collect and send unwanted insulin and other diabetes supplies to clinics in developing countries for distribution to children and adults with diabetes who cannot afford insulin and treatment they need to stay alive.
IDDT ensures that any insulin and supplies you donate will reach the developing countries in need of our help.
The need is for:
· No longer needed, unopened and in-date insulin [with at least 3 months to the expiry date]
· Syringes, lancets, needles
· Glucose test strips
Please help if you can by sending supplies to:
Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust,
PO Box 294,
