Learn About Your Coverage Options

#AccessForAll is our advocacy initiative to ensure equitable and universal access to diabetes devices for all Canadians, regardless of age. We aim to support the T1D community to increase both public and private coverage for advanced glucose monitors (Flash CGM and Continuous Glucose Monitors) and insulin pumps. We believe in patient choice and the importance of reducing out of pocket costs for these life changing and life saving devices.
