How do you guys find ‘caravan’ groups to drive up to Canada to buy insulin? I need those savings… But I am having trouble finding a group to go up with. I don’t want to make the long drive alone and as a recently diagnosed I don’t really have too many contacts yet… ---

I have heard of caravans originating in Minnesota and Oregon/Washington. But know of no resource that covers or organizes these. It might help if you could say what state you are from in case someone knows of a local resource. Also, if you search on our site, there are mail order possibilities for your insulin from Canada, so no need to drive. ---

Maybe check with local ADA or JDRF, to see if they have local contacts. Or some areas may use meetup website. ---

I use Insulinmart they are based in Canada… No need for caravans. Save the trip
