How does diabetes affect your life insurance?
It is possible to get life insurance if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, but your premiums will depend on the severity of your condition and your HbA1c readings.
Most people with diabetes who are applying for life insurance will find that their premiums will be loaded by the life insurance provider.
This is why life insurance underwriters will assess your diabetes based on a number of key factors and measurements, such as:
- Age of diagnosis
- Most recent HbA1c reading
- Details of all blood sugar tests, kidney function tests, urinalysis & cholesterol
- Type of diabetes
- Medication (e.g. diet, metformin or insulin)
- BMI
- Existing diabetes complications
- Records of treatment
You may find that certain insurance providers previously declined you for life insurance because of your diabetes. This does not mean that every insurance provider would decline you, so it is important to speak to one of our experts to ensure you apply to the best insurance provider for you.
It is very important for anyone with diabetes to apply to insurance providers with strong underwriting for your condition. Our team of experts know exactly which insurance provider will be the best for you and it is our job to make sure that you get the best cover in place at the right price.
