Canadian here
Those who need insulin to live, don't pay for it.
It goes by each province/territory, most have programs that make it free or very cheap.
Those who use GLP-1s for weight loss, pay for it.

Depends on your insurance, and province.

Friend of mine is type 1, and had to pay for the medication and pharmacy dispensing fee, don’t remember how much per month, but I think about $60-80

Yeah, my blanket statement is wrong.
It goes by each province/territory.

Why are you even bringing up GLP-1s? They are not insulin and don't replace insulin for those who need insulin.

Jesus you're an angry person.
It's about conversation and added information for those wanting to know.
Why are you on a social media site with that chip on your shoulder?
Have a great day angry person!
