Canadians with Diabetes have a large burden placed upon them by having to pay thousands of dollars for their necessary equipment and medicine, especially those without medical benefits. It is unacceptable to have to pay such a large amount of money to maintain a persons health and wellness. I want to work on lowering diabetic costs in Canada and to raise awareness of this issue that many face! Diabetes is not an option, spending money to survive shouldn't have to be an option either.

I have 3 Grandchildren with diabetes and I know what a strain this puts on their family budgets. Please do something to help them.
Unacceptable. Many things are covered through our wonderful health care system that are ELECTIVES. DIABETES IS NOT ELECTIVE!!!!!!!
I am type 2 if I didn't have benefits at work I don't know how I would manage my meds
Diabetes is very expensive. Medication is required and cannot be stopped. Being a type 1 diabetic for 40 years, I require benefits in every job. Without the benefits I will have an extremely hard time with the costs. It is not fair that drug addicts can receive free syringes yet seniors must pay for syringes. Diabetes is not a choice.
Hello.
Hello
At the very least, cover the costs for Type 1. They can't reverse it like Type 2. Their medications are a necessity of life.

I have diabetes and 23, so in a couple years will be dealing with trying to figure out how I'm going to make enough money just to pay for my medical supplies and medicine. Lowering costs is essential and would mean I could live a better life and save money for other parts of my future life. Please help!
