Key Points Question Are socioeconomic status disparities in insulin pump uptake in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) different under the fully funded government program in Québec and the partially funded program in Manitoba? Findings In parallel, population-based cohort studies including 3555 children with T1D, increasing material deprivation was significantly associated with decreased pump uptake in both Québec and Manitoba. Socioeconomic status disparities were statistically significantly greater in Manitoba than Québec. Meaning The findings of this study suggest that full financial coverage for insulin pumps may partially mitigate the observed socioeconomic status disparities in uptake and may be a model to improve access for children with T1D.
