Loke replied to AliciaM's discussion 'CGM and Pump for type 2 in canada' in the group Canada Diabetes"As far as I am aware no province covers CGM and neither do most medical plans. Basic reasons are that they are expensive and according to a large number of doctors not necessary.
Don't forget that you also need a pump that is compatible with…"
Loke commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Canada Diabetes'"Just saw a news article that the plan to ban all loyalty points in pharmacies in BC has been postponed;

According to Medtronic the Link products are only available for purchase through them and cannot be purchased through a pharmacy. A…"
Loke replied to Bram's discussion 'Canadian Healthcare for the American' in the group Canada Diabetes"Kind of an open ended question. Your blog has several points that need to be corrected.

Loke replied to Bram's discussion 'Moving to Canada from USA' in the group Canada Diabetes"A couple of different conversations here and you should be aware of some of what you are getting into.

Loke replied to Loke's discussion 'Vancouver Area - New Bridge - Free Pass' in the group Canada Diabetes"I have talked to Treo and there is not a pass for parents of a person with a disability.

Theo Pella replied to Loke's discussion 'Vancouver Area - New Bridge - Free Pass' in the group Canada Diabetes"We have never heard of this "tax Credit"... As we drive to Abbotsford from White Rock on a regular basis. Either that or we are driving to Maple Ridge."
Loke replied to Loke's discussion 'Vancouver Area - New Bridge - Free Pass' in the group Canada Diabetes"Don't know. If you can get your doctor to sign the form then yes.

Loke replied to Loke's discussion 'Vancouver Area - New Bridge - Free Pass' in the group Canada Diabetes"I am starting with treo as other offices were closed. Will work my way up. Will post if I get anywhere."
Theo Pella replied to Loke's discussion 'Vancouver Area - New Bridge - Free Pass' in the group Canada Diabetes"Who would you contact? Trio? Translink? BC govt? As we are in White Rock and have to travel north over both bridges from time to time for his Dr."
