Over at Act1diabetes.org, they collect non prescription diabetes supplies to donate to those who are in desperate need of them.  I myself, am one of those who doesn’t get enough strips and has to figure out how to make due, whether by buying them at full cost at the pharmacy or by testing less.  The least I can do is send the extra meter I have and spread word about this in the case any of you have extra supplies.

Test strips are crucial to diabetes management and this organization is unable to meet the flood of requests for them.  I can’t imagine going without strips or a meter.  If you have any extra supplies you could donate,  Here is more info.

If you don’t have extra supplies, Act1diabetes also welcomes help with building up the funds needed to help more people. 

Thanks for reading :)
