Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

I have been a type 2 diabetic for 8 years after a bout with pancreatits. I have been insulin dependent and on an Animas pump for 5 of the 8 years. After loosing 40 pounds and making radical changes to my diet I have been able to get off of insulin.

That being said, I find myself with a years worth of supplies of Animas One Touch Ping Inset 30 supplies. I no longer need the supplies and need ideas as to what to do with the supplies.

The following link will show the supplies:

Any ideas?

Maybe donate to a Free Clinic?

I agree donate to a free clinic. Congrats you got off of Insulin.

glad you were able to come off the pump, obviously your pancreas is still functioning to some point

I spent several hours yesterday and could not find a local free/homeless clinic to give them to. I am not looking to sell them but want them to go to a needy diabetic.
