It has come to our researcher’s attention that many of our members and the seniors in our community (those 65+) may not be aware that there is financial help for those dealing with Diabetes. The Ontario Government offers a small financial assistance through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) to help those that are insulin depended.
Diabetic Supplies.
There is small financial aid to help pay for the needles and syringes. Those that qualify are entitled to a payment of $170 once a year.
