Highlights from this day
insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction, from memory
💀3🎉1✅1
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
ok so cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
is the freezing risk actually documented or is it a room theory

hold till march
does cross border make any sense from canada or is it not worth the bother
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time, n of 1 obviously
[edited]the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about
quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago
does private insurance cover it in canada or only some plans
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
transit was 22 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility
my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use, i could be wrong
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
quebec is different
as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright
six weeks of stock
sorry to jump in anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all
its provincial
diabetes covered, weight not
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february

has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit
quick one the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
ok so canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time
gel packs either direction

private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers, take that with a pinch of salt
anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free

does anyone hold their orders between december and march
i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy
freezing not cooking
member reported 2024
powder survived a freeze
postal in winter

how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly

i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double, i have it written down somewhere
check your plan
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago, for what its worth
update on the earlier thing i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
