Thank you for you information (JDRF) on the donation of 508 insulin pump supplies. I also have MANY-MANY box of unopened infusion sets and syringes to donate. I also went on a 512 pump recently. TLC
Maggie,
What a kind offer! Because we are not allowed to post any personal contact information on this site, I have some other recommendations for where you can donate your sterile, unused pump supplies.
In your local area, look for a chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the same group that sponsors this website on Med Help. JDRF staff are in contact with many families for whom your supplies would be such a valuable gift. You might also enjoy participating in one of their support groups where you could offer the supplies yourself.
Or talk with your endo to see if you can have him/her donate those supplies to a needy family s/he is caring for.
Best of luck with your new pump. They're getting better & better!
Dear Magie J,
i am just a diabetic writing from experience and i am using a 508 insulin pump and i do not need the supplies. i got diabetes in the Air Force and am covered by the VA. But i do want to thank you for making this offer. bret
