- quiet_head_qi — follow up as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright, thats one data point 23:20
check your plan
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
does anyone hold their orders between december and march
the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another
any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them
powder survived a freeze
a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly
postal in winter
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time
Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days.
quebec seems to be different again, is that right
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, i think
does the postal service or the courier handle winter better
hold till march
follow up as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright, thats one data point
