I logged into the Medtronic website today to order my monthly supplies.
I clicked through the ordering screens as I normally do without really paying much attention, it's become so routine.
When I finished, the "shopping cart" gave a total of $248.50.
Usually, the total is $238.00.
Huh? Did I select the wrong items?
I glanced above to review my order.
Paradigm 23 x 9mm Quickset 10/Box
Paradigm Reservoir 10/Box
The items are right. Dammit, the prices went up.
I guess even diabetes can't escape from inflation.
p.s. - One good thing is that at least I can order a box of infusion sets next month without a box of reservoirs and not have to pay a delivery charge since infusion sets are now over $200. I'm a couple of boxes ahead in my reservoir supply due to sites falling out and needing to change the set and not necessarily the reservoir of insulin.

Do you not get free meds in Canada?
If not that must be tough
yellow - I do have insurance coverage, but my plan requires that I pay for my sets and they reimburse the covered portion (80%).
Would ordering every three months reduce the costs?
yeah. i got snail mail from Medtronic saying to order before July 31st to avoid the higher prices. problem was, the mail got to me on Aug 9th.
figures...
