“Every day in British Columbia, primary care physicians, allied health professionals such as dietitians and social workers, endocrinologists, and other medical and surgical specialists are caring for people with diabetes. And every day these dedicated professionals are faced with the reality of being unable to provide optimal, evidence-based care to many of their patients. Why? Because we live in British Columbia.
BC is a have province, yet patients who do not have private insurance coverage are forced to use outdated, higher-risk, and less-effective therapies, while patients with private insurance have access to the best evidence-based therapies available.” – Dr. Ehud Ur, Professor of Medicine
