Many Canadians Can’t Afford an Insulin Pump |
|
This year, Austin Baron will graduate from high school and move to a new province for college. Thankfully, the insulin pump and essential supplies Austin uses to manage her type 1 diabetes are covered by a publicly funded insulin pump program in Saskatchewan. Without this program it could have been a choice between paying for her education, or paying for the pump that has dramatically improved her life. We want to ensure equal access to insulin pumps for all Canadians – you can help us change that. |
