i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything

the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about

anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying

check your plan

canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time

insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction

is provincial coverage as much of a patchwork as it looks from outside

the truck is the risk

member reported 2024

Purity check: no report on file for lot E-2205. Nothing logged either way.

update from 18 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially

anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february

canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here

wouldnt use a thawed solution

a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time

my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use

nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them

what does a month cost in canadian dollars at a pharmacy

an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose

postal in winter

how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont

an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one

slightly off topic but is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial

does private insurance cover it in canada or only some plans

coming back after 14 months, has any province changed its position

does the postal service or the courier handle winter better
