i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy, for what its worth

postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours
canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time, take that with a pinch of salt
quebec is different
how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
i hold orders between january and march where i can. a preference, not a rule anybody gave me
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine
diabetes covered, weight not
check your plan
canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here
that was a pilot not policy
New independent result logged — JEEP, lot B-0329, purity 99.4% (Medutest).
i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
quebec seems to be different again, is that right
quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago

while im here a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
*PeptideMeter not the other one
cheaper than the us
coming back after 16 months, has any province changed its position

winter shipping, is freezing the actual risk rather than heat
gel packs either direction

thirteen questions not one
anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all
coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another, thats one data point
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
powder survived a freeze
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly

private script, DE 180 - 240
