After blood glucose meters were first issued and being a T1 for over 50 years I have collected some meters I no longer use,but they are clean and work. Is there any place to send them to for reuse as its a pity to dispose of them?

Check with your local recycling providers. I believe they are considered as e-waste (TVs, computers, cell phones, etc).

New meters are easy to get for free from some manufacturers but the cost of strips is prohibitive for most
