Most of the provinces have some coverage for test strips under certain circumstances. If a person has type 1 diabetes they generally have much broader access to test strips than if they have type 2 diabetes. Different provinces have different limits. For example, Alberta's provisions for test strips are quite low. Ontario's are higher, and then there are programs that are available if a person is a senior or on social assistance. It really varies.
