This is sort of relative to other diseases. That's one of the things we've heard. This was established in 1988. We're actually not really sure of the genesis, whether it was something like dialysis or some other condition, so 14 hours became a bit of a threshold. We're seeing a longer list of activities being incorporated, such as carbohydrate counting, which is all positive.
What's interesting to us is.... We take away that there's this desire to help people with type 1 diabetes actually get the disability tax credit, and we're trying to thread the needle. Ideally, we could get rid of the hour requirement, because if you have got type 1 diabetes, you need insulin. It's a life-sustaining therapy. It's as simple as that.
If we need to find a middle ground, we'd say, “Let's reduce that from 14 to seven,” because it seems like the GPs and doctors.... If that's a hurdle where people are debating if 14 hours is enough, we don't think that's the real issue. It's not the amount of time. You have type 1. It's an expensive disease. It's meant to be a disability tax credit. It's meant to be a financial helper. It's not really about the time.
We're trying to find a way that would actually be acceptable to the government to make this change. We feel like we're all moving in the right direction, but we're really trying to find a way that could make it acceptable for more and more people with type 1 to get approved.
