- VialBot — Verification log updated: HJ — evidence added, status unchanged. 08:48
- reta_resting_hr — the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly, ill dig out the number 09:40
- provincial_pat — cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border 10:38
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free
whats a realistic monthly figure with insurance

i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago

canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here, your mileage will differ
insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february
update from 23 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially, thats just me
is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial
transit was 5 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility
Verification log updated: HJ — evidence added, status unchanged.
how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so
follow up an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one

thirteen questions not one
anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying
hold till march
diabetes covered, weight not
Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days.
nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them, your mileage will differ
private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
i hold orders between january and march where i can. a preference, not a rule anybody gave me

i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy
i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
postal in winter
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
gel packs either direction
