BJ replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"is not every Type One child the same whether they are pumping or using shots to control their glucose????
Short answer is no... they're not. They still have to meet the criteria and the DTC is for many disabilities and not just T1D. So your…"
"" is not every Type One child the same whether they are pumping or using shots to control their glucose????" ...re your question Betsy ...the rules were changed in 2005 ; prior and to 2001 , only people on pumps received DTC ( if approved…"
Betsy replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"Revenue Canada told me yesterday that they take 9 to 12 weeks to process an application. He told me I am only at week 9 and to call again next week. I don't understand this, is not every Type One child the same whether they are pumping or using…"
"I looked at Betsy's profile and read that her child was diagnosed much less than one year ago( March 19, 2012 ) ...may this have something to do with her and Rev. Canada's concerns since it is not a full year ??? A question to ASK Rev…"
BJ replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"The more I do this, the more I think Revenue Canada will hose you any chance they get rather than promoting a good thing for Canadians.
Betsy, do I understand correctly that your endo messed up the form and you have now redone it and are waiting for…"
Betsy replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"I am now thinking Revenue Canada told me to wait another month then my 90 days to Object their decision will have expired. I so wish we lived closer to Children's Hospital. I wanted to have the form done there but the Social Worker said to wait…"
SuzP replied to pancreaswanted's discussion 'is it possible to draw insulin out of a pen into a regular syringe to get half units?'"Depending on what insulin you are using there are pens that deliver half units. Novo Nordisk has them - ask for the kids pens. Novopen echo is what we have used, it also has a memory feature which is useful as it records the last dose delivered and…"
SuzP replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"the clinic at Children's has the form already prepared - they print it out and the dr signs it, definitely know what they are doing on this one. hope it works out for you"
Betsy replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"Hey Suzanne
Our Endo did fill it out but she messed up stating part of the time was spent carb counting....We were at Children's Hospital in Vancouver and I wish that Endo had completed the form he must do dozens or them. Rev. Canada has told…"
SuzP replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"Hi Bets, yes we were approved, it was pretty quick, less than the 6-8 weeks that I expected, I also sent in the request for reassessment of this years return and got our refund pretty quick too.
Our endo had no problem with the forms, they have them…"
Betsy replied to SuzP's discussion 'Child's disability tax credit' in the group Canada Diabetes"Hello Suzanne I was wondering if you have been accepted for the DTC yet or not? My son was diagnosed in March and we applied and were turned down but I have since submitted another letter from our son's specialist.
Thanks for you info.

SuzP commented on Emmy's group 'Freestyle Insulinx Glucometer'"I guess I could create a report with the old meter, it's frustrating that you can't do anything with the raw data once it's off the meter and you can't upload it to a new meter. The software seems pretty basic - you'd think…"
SuzP commented on Emmy's group 'Freestyle Insulinx Glucometer'"Another frustrating call with customer care - got the new meter, backed up and exported data from old meter, was able to transfer settings to new meter but there is no way to transfer the data. And you can't do anything with the exported data…"
SuzP commented on Emmy's group 'Freestyle Insulinx Glucometer'"Andy, if you are having to inject more than what the meter suggests perhaps your carb ratios need to be adjusted or your target blood glucose levels. The meter is only going to calculated based on what you've told it to do..."
