Highlights from this day
- van_isle_vial — transit was 21 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility 16:08
- van_isle_vial — sorry to jump in any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them, ymmv coverage in canada is provincial… 16:21
- ferritin_fay — my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use 17:14
how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
the truck is the risk
private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
slightly off topic but i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february, we shall see
unrelated but i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double, thats just me
while im here is the freezing risk actually documented or is it a room theory

Digest for the week of 2025-01-16 has been published.
Testing queue: 5 submissions open, 115 awaiting dispatch.
slightly off topic but anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying
the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so
how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
does cross border make any sense from canada or is it not worth the bother
member reported 2024

is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
check your plan
❤️15🎉14
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
wouldnt use a thawed solution
cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border

has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit
my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use
the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about
❤️3📈1👀6
cheaper than the us

coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another

i hold orders between january and march where i can. a preference, not a rule anybody gave me
[edited]update from 23 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
🧪3
freeze thaw cycling is the concern rather than one freeze, and that is my read of it rather than a lab result, thats one data point
ok so the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not

spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free, your mileage will differ
quebec is different
