Unwanted diabetes gear received today

[Ljc]

I sent an email an email to my Gp to remove some items from my repeat prescription
Nexus test strips (2 boxes
Gluco RX carepoint needles 4mm (1 box)

Well they did remove them

But also sent them out to me. 🙄 😱 If I return them they will only be destroyed
If you would like some or all of them please let me know and I will arrange to post them to you.

I will donate them to IDDT

Who are IDDT please? Just in case I'm ever in a similar situation (and so I can tell R what to do with any unopened diabetes stuff if anything happens to me!).

Who are IDDT please?

https://www.iddt.org/

The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) is a registered charity and was formed in 1994. We are concerned with listening to the needs of people who live with diabetes, understanding those needs and doing our utmost to offer help and support. We not only want to help those who actually have diabetes but also their carers – the husbands, wives, partners and parents, indeed, all of us who ‘live with diabetes’. We recognise that when one person in a family has diabetes, all other family members are affected to a greater or lesser extent and they all have views and needs which may be different from the person with diabetes, but nevertheless are important.​
