British Columbia residents with diabetes who use a flash glucose monitor to read their blood sugar levels will now have the cost of it covered by the province.
As of today, the FreeStyle Libre will be covered by B-C PharmaCare as a limited-coverage benefit.
The monitor allows users to read their blood-sugar levels by swiping a hand-held device or smartphone over the sensor.
It helps those with diabetes better manager their blood-sugar levels without have to prick their finger many times a day for manual tests.
