I'm a type 2 Diabetic, and I'm Lucky enough that my insurance covers a program ( Livongo, by Teladoc Health) that sent me a Free meter, and unlimited Lancets and test strips at no additional cost to me.
I don't change the lancet quite as often as i should ( which is every time), and I have QUITE the backlog of lancets...
every time you order strips, they send a box with 200 test strips, and 200 lancets.
Currently have about 500 excess lancets laying around collecting dust. ( in baggies of 25 each) not counting the 200 that came in the mail today.
they're not any of the major brands ( at least not marked as such, not sure who the real supplier is) just labeled as Livongo.

I don't really want/ need money for them, they didn't cost me anything.
willing to ship them out if folks need them.

if this isn't allowed, I fully understand if a mod deletes this.

Lol, I really should change mine, It's already over a year old.
Box of 500 would be a lifetime supply, 27 years of testing for me so far.
Threw out the original box a few years ago because it was dusty.
 
I've been wearing the Dexcom7 for a trial. It works great. No finger sticks, no cumbersome glucometer. Put on the patch and download the app to your phone. Get instant readings, daily graphs, weekly graphs, post parandial readings, or send the collected data to your medical clinic. For example, before dinner I was at 110mg/dl. An hour or so after dinner, ~130mg/dl. I keep the monitor at my bed stand at night and check it when I get up to go to the bathroom. I'll drop down to ~100mg/dl or so.

Easy peasy.

No issue keeping an ample stash of lancets with your oil and filter inventory.
 
I am in the same boat as probably most diabetics are of having excess test supplies. Still on my original box of 100 lancets for the last 5 years.
