Tell Your MPP: Close Ontario's Insulin Pump Coverage Gaps

People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) deserve access to the tools they need to stay healthy and prevent serious complications. Insulin pumps are considered a standard of care for type 1 diabetes yet in Ontario, outdated coverage policies continue to create barriers for many individuals and families. People must wait 12 months before becoming eligible for an insulin pump, and provincial funding for pump supplies has not increased since 2006 despite significant increases in costs. As a result, many Ontarians are left paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars out of pocket each year.

Premier Ford and the Ontario government have an opportunity to close these gaps and ensure people with type 1 diabetes can access the care they need. By sending a message today, you can help urge the government to:

Eliminate the 12-month waiting period for insulin pump eligibility.
Increase funding for insulin pump supplies to reflect current costs.

Add your voice today and call on the government to improve access to insulin pump therapy for people living with type 1 diabetes across Ontario. Together, we can help create a fairer, more accessible diabetes care system for all.
