? Canadian sources for supplies and foods

[Barb 4 Angus]

A few days ago I saw a thread with a list of links to sources for diabetic and or pet supplies . One that stood out was a CDN source that had something like marine or boat supplies and a guy's name in the site name ?? Have I now fully lost my mind, did I dream this or imagine it ? Does this sound familiar to anyone?

For insulin, Mark's Marine Pharmacy is probably what you are thinking of. https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/buying-insulin-from-canada.203498/

You don't want to get insulin supplies at Mark's Marine if you live in Canada - they are located on Marine Drive in Vancouver, about 25 minutes away for me. They have a nice little business selling drugs online to US customers. It used to be their insulin was cheaper than is now available in the US, though still considerably higher than what we pay here, and that was priced in US $!

For both insulin and other diabetic supplies, call around. The best place varies by where you live. There are a couple on line stores too, but not always cheaper than bricks and mortar stores. The one exception is the Bravo meter (test strip link here), but it can only be obtained on line, meaning you need a good supply on hand and order in advance if getting low.
