Some people get private coverage by getting the druggist to write "diabetic supplies" on the druggist's receipt. Some of us with private coverage are cleared for sensors. No chicanery necessary. We also live close to the border and if we had to buy our own sensors, we could get them for $33 in the U.S. If you fight, you can get sensors covered through ODSP (Ontario Disability Supports Programme). I've talked to a couple of people in Ottawa who have had ODSP cover their sensors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310765395863592182.post-2155315248862714382011-01-28T22:21:09.298-03:302011-01-28T22:21:09.298-03:30The Diabetes "HAVES" is what we are...I ...The Diabetes "HAVES" is what we are...I didn't realize how discriminate the classes were until I read Cheating Destiny.

I hope that I can do this in my lifetime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.com
