Highlights from this day
- tyne_tracks — the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about, happy to be corrected 09:26
- reta_resting_hr — a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly 10:07

- reta_resting_hr — an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one 12:54
i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly

hold till march
does the postal service or the courier handle winter better
freezing not cooking
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free
i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double
freeze thaw cycling is the concern rather than one freeze, and that is my read of it rather than a lab result
its provincial
a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly

powder survived a freeze

depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back

diabetes covered, weight not
the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not
what does a month cost in canadian dollars at a pharmacy
as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright
postal in winter

i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine
quebec is different
that was a pilot not policy
cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
quebec seems to be different again, is that right
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so
canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time
is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one

private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial
quick one i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
