JUSTIN SAMANSKI-LANGILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Mitch Beauchemin shows his blood sugar testing kit. Beauchemin, 58, is diabetic and has been testing his blood sugar level since he was 19, using up to 12 test strips a day. Recently, the province reduced the number of covered test strips to just 10 a day, leaving many to pay out of pocket for the extra supplies. 170628 - Wednesday, June 28, 2017.
