Highlights from this day
- van_isle_vial — winter shipping, is freezing the actual risk rather than heat 17:22
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot C-4402. Nothing logged either way. 19:03
- reta_resting_hr — unrelated but update from 5 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to… 19:04
- step_one_sian — right so i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything, thats just me 19:55
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly
is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine
any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them

*Medutest not the other one
does the postal service or the courier handle winter better

the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
how long is transit into canada running
freeze thaw cycling is the concern rather than one freeze, and that is my read of it rather than a lab result
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
powder survived a freeze

freezing not cooking
its provincial
gel packs either direction
that was a pilot not policy
Purity check: no report on file for lot C-4402. Nothing logged either way.
unrelated but update from 5 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to a half of the us price a year or two ago, and that will have moved

member reported 2024
wouldnt use a thawed solution
postal in winter
diabetes covered, weight not
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time
as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright
right so i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything, thats just me

quick one the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to a half of the us price a year or two ago, and that will have moved
the truck is the risk
20:47quiet.hours pinned a message to this channel
unrelated but the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not
canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here
