Good afternoon everyone,

I switched from Medtronic to Tandem a while ago and just been having a tidy up of my diabetes supplies and I have 2 x unopened boxes of Medtronic infusion sets and 2 x unopened boxes of reservoirs. They’re still in date till the end of this year.

Does anyone know of any company / charity that would take these? Seems a shame for them to go to waste?

Thank you.

Commuting, overcrowded spaces, especially after the arrival of covid-19...

Were these NHS funded? If yes, then in the first instance contact your diabetes pump clinic as they may have a specific protocol re returning unopened medical technology. Also may well have good ideas of where else you may donate these.
