Arranging Life Insurance with Type 1 Diabetes Most Insurers will want to write to your GP for a medical report if you have diabetes. But not always! In this case, after completing an application over the phone with our client, the insurer was happy to offer the cover without a GP report. We were recently approached by a Diabetic Type 1 who was diagnosed when he was only 15 years old and has been insulin dependant ever since. He is now 48 years old and he is a non-smoker. He said that he wanted to arrange a life insurance policy which would provide a lump sum for his wife and family if he was to pass away before retiring at the age of 67. His diabetes is well controlled and his last HbA1c...

Will diabetes affect insurance premiums? 11:39 GMT, 16 December 2008 I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 14 years old. I am now 36 and would like to know how diabetes would affect my premiums for life insurance. Ian, Chelmsford, Essex Ian Crowder at AA insurance replies: It looks as if life cover would be provided for you, but it would be expensive - most insurers on our panel would be looking for a loading of 250% on the premium. Also, it would be subject to a GP report confirming that the diabetes was well controlled. The price of cover depends on the applicant's age, how long they have had diabetes and whether it is type 1 or 2. For example, if a 35-year-old man or woman is applying...

While the outline above is general in form, the questions will require specific answers. These answers will be gathered from your application, a telephone interview, the Medical Information Bureau, a Script Check, and an Attending Physicians Statement (APS). Lets look at the general areas of inquiry one at a time. Do you "fit" into the usual risk factors for type 2 diabetes Because diabetes is an epidemic, other than scrutinizing weight and alcohol use, underwriting for life insurance with type 2 diabetes will not view this as a factor. The reason it matters with most conditions is that underwriters are more comfortable with making offers when an applicant fits into a common pattern. If the...

Life Insurance and Type 1 Diabetes We were approached by Mr K, a 25 year old man and his partner, Miss G who is 24 years of age as they required life insurance to cover the mortgage on their first home. Neither clients smoke and they were arranging cover for their mortgage of £150,000 over a 30 year term. Miss G was able to arrange an immediate life insurance policy offering level term cover of £150,000 over 30 years for a monthly premium of £6.85. Mr K, however, was unable to obtain immediate cover once he disclosed that he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was aged 13 years. He hadn’t suffered any complications and advised us that the condition was very well controlled. We...

Life Insurance for Diabetics How Diabetics Can Get the Best Life Insurance Rates I won’t gloss over it: People with diabetes have an uphill challenge to get a well-priced life insurance policy. If your agent doesn’t have this type of inside knowledge, find another agent who does. - If you have a life insurance policy issued before your diagnosis of diabetes, it likely has a much more favorable rating and premium.

You are allowed to carry as many life insurance policies as you like. - If you have a term plan that is...
