How To Bundle Diabetic Supplies for Submission

If you have unused Dexcom sensors, FreeStyle Libre sensors, OneTouch test strips, Accu-Chek supplies, Omnipod products, Medtronic supplies, Tandem supplies, or other eligible diabetic products, bundling them together may be a more efficient option than submitting separate shipments.

Why Are More Sellers Bundling Diabetic Supplies?

Many people accumulate diabetic supplies over time without realizing how much inventory they actually have.

This can happen because of:

• Receiving extra diabetic supplies
• Prescription adjustments
• Switching CGM systems
• Upgrading insulin pumps
• Changes in treatment plans
• Transitioning from test strips to CGMs

For example, someone moving from Dexcom G6 to Dexcom G7 may still have unused sensors, transmitters, and test strips at home. Similarly, a person changing from Medtronic supplies to Tandem or Omnipod products may end up with unopened diabetic supplies that are no longer needed.

Instead of allowing these products to sit unused, many sellers choose to bundle everything together into one shipment.

Benefits of Bundling Supplies

Bundling can help:

✅ Simplify inventory management

✅ Reduce the number of shipments required

✅ Organize supplies before expiration dates become a concern

✅ Help organize eligible products into a single submission

✅ Streamline the selling process

What Diabetic Supplies Can Be Bundled Together?

The exact products accepted vary by buyer, but many sellers commonly bundle multiple categories of diabetic supplies.

CGM Supplies

Common CGM products include:

• Dexcom G6 sensors
• Dexcom G7 sensors
• FreeStyle Libre sensors
• Eligible transmitters

Test Strips

Popular brands often include:

• OneTouch
• Accu-Chek
• Bayer
• True Metrix
• FreeStyle

Insulin Pump Supplies

Depending on eligibility requirements, sellers may also have:

• Medtronic supplies
• Omnipod supplies
• Tandem supplies

Additional Diabetic Supplies

Other products sometimes included are:

• Lancets
• Pen needles
• Syringes

Before preparing a shipment, always verify which products are currently accepted and whether they meet eligibility requirements.

Why Do Sellers Bundle Diabetic Supplies?

Many sellers focus only on their commonly used products and overlook additional supplies that may still qualify.

Example Scenario

Imagine a seller has:

• 4 Dexcom G7 sensors
• 2 boxes of OneTouch test strips
• 1 Dexcom transmitter
• Several unopened lancets

Instead of shipping each category separately, they organize everything into one shipment.

This approach can help:

• Reduce administrative work
• Keep inventory organized
• Prevent supplies from sitting unused
• Create a more efficient selling experience

The goal isn’t simply to submit more products—it’s to manage inventory more effectively before expiration windows become an issue.

How Can Bundling Help Simplify the Submission Process?

Bundling does not automatically improve organization of individual products. However, it can help sellers organize all eligible products before submission of qualifying diabetic supplies by identifying products they may have overlooked and submitting them before expiration dates become a concern.

For example, a seller may initially plan to submit only Dexcom sensors but later discover unused OneTouch test strips, lancets, or Omnipod supplies that also qualify. Combining eligible products into one shipment can help ensure all eligible products are reviewed together and reduce the chance that unused supplies sit long enough to lose eligibility.

How To Bundle Diabetic Supplies

Step 1: Gather All Unused Diabetic Supplies

Start by collecting all diabetic supplies you no longer need.

Check storage areas such as:

• Medicine cabinets
• Supply drawers
• Storage bins
• Closets
• Travel kits

Many sellers are surprised to discover they have more unused inventory than expected.

Step 2: Separate Products by Category

Organizing products before shipping helps reduce confusion and simplifies the review process.

Consider grouping supplies into categories:

This organization can make it easier to evaluate what you have available.

Step 3: Review Expiration Dates

Expiration dates are one of the most important factors when preparing diabetic supplies for submission.

Create separate groups based on remaining shelf life.

For example:

• 12+ months remaining
• 6–12 months remaining
• 3–6 months remaining

Products with longer remaining shelf life are generally easier to evaluate and process than supplies approaching expiration.

Step 4: Check Packaging Condition

Unopened products are typically easier to evaluate than opened products.

Review each item for:

• Factory seals
• Visible expiration dates
• Intact labels
• Undamaged packaging

Avoid including supplies with:

• Torn packaging
• Missing labels
• Water damage
• Broken seals

Sellers often discover that packaging condition can affect eligibility just as much as expiration dates.

If you’re unsure about certain products, it’s worth reviewing whether buyers accept open boxes of diabetic supplies before preparing a shipment.

Step 5: Create an Inventory Checklist

Before shipping, make a simple inventory list.

Example:

An inventory checklist helps ensure nothing is overlooked.

Step 6: Package Supplies Properly

Proper packaging helps protect supplies during transit.

Recommended practices include:

• Using sturdy shipping boxes
• Securing products to prevent movement
• Protecting corners and labels
• Keeping products dry

Even unopened supplies can be affected by shipping damage if they are not packaged properly.

What Mistakes May Affect Product Eligibility?

Many sellers unknowingly affect product eligibility during inspection.

Waiting Too Long

One of the biggest mistakes is delaying action.

Every month that passes reduces the remaining shelf life of eligible supplies.

Sellers with products approaching expiration often research whether they should sell test strips expiring in 3 months before waiting any longer.

Including Opened Products

Opened products may have different acceptance standards than factory-sealed products.

Always review product requirements before assuming a supply qualifies.

Ignoring Packaging Damage

Crushed corners, damaged labels, and broken seals may affect eligibility.

Mixing Unorganized Inventory

Submitting supplies without sorting them first can make inventory management more difficult and increase the likelihood of errors.

Can Expired Products Be Included in a Bundle?

This depends entirely on buyer requirements.

Can Expired Products Be Submitted?

Products that have expired may no longer meet the buyer’s current product eligibility requirements. Before preparing a shipment, review the buyer’s current eligibility guidelines to determine whether your products qualify for evaluation.

Acceptance standards vary based on:

• Product type
• Brand
• Condition
• Length of time since expiration

Because requirements differ, sellers should always review current buyer guidelines before including expired inventory in a shipment.

Does Brand Matter When Bundling Supplies?

Yes.

Certain brands tend to have commonly accepted product categories within the diabetic supply marketplace.

Examples include:

CGM Brands

• Dexcom
• FreeStyle Libre
• Stelo

Test Strip Brands

• Accu-Chek
• OneTouch
• FreeStyle
• Bayer
• True Metrix

Pump Supply Brands

• Omnipod
• Medtronic
• Tandem

Product type is one of the factors reviewed during the evaluation process.

Example Bundling Strategy

Let’s look at a realistic example.

Seller A

Inventory:

• 2 Dexcom G7 sensors
• 1 FreeStyle Libre sensor
• 1 box of Accu-Chek strips

Seller B

Inventory:

• 2 Dexcom G7 sensors
• 1 FreeStyle Libre sensor
• 1 box of Accu-Chek strips
• 2 OneTouch boxes
• 1 Omnipod supply box
• Lancets

Seller B has taken time to identify and organize all eligible supplies before preparing a shipment.

The result is a more complete inventory review and a more organized submission and a smoother evaluation process.
