Highlights from this day
  • hiccup_hollis — i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything 14:27
  • typosquat_tay — for the archive my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use, ill dig out the number 15:30
  • typosquat_tay — quick one cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border 16:31
  • provincial_pat — anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all 17:12
  • reta_resting_hr — coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another 17:30

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

the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not

TT

right so coming back after 2 months, has any province changed its position

i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double

quick one cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border

a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter

diabetes covered, weight not

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

anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all

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