BJ replied to Stacey Chipka's discussion 'Omnipod listed for Pharmacare coverage' in the group Canada Diabetes"Thanks so much! I also misplace my keys. LOL. It doesn't hold enough insulin for me though, but I'm always glad to see choices for things like that. I personally like my paradigm but am intrigued by the ping and the omnipod. Thank you so…"
BJ replied to Stacey Chipka's discussion 'Omnipod listed for Pharmacare coverage' in the group Canada Diabetes"That's wonderful that there can be another choice. I'd be worried about misplacing the device myself, but its nice to have the option.

I have started a petition to gain more support in BC to have PharmaCare expand its pump program to include diabetics of all ages, not just children. In doing so, our healthcare system will save $5.3 MILLION/YR by the year 2032. With the significant cost pressures facing our province, we really cant afford to shove this off any longer.
