Highlights from this day
- van_isle_vial — any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them, anyway 10:53
- still_here_2024 — the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about 11:02
- evidence_or_not — i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double 11:32
- evidence_or_not — unrelated but the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly 11:33
- hk_hplc — as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright 14:21

powder survived a freeze
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double

i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
coming back after 12 months, has any province changed its position
diabetes covered, weight not
