Get expert guidance from our diabetes insurance specialists
Most insurance companies now offer term insurance to people with diabetes. While premiums may be slightly higher, getting adequate life coverage is definitely possible with proper documentation and controlled sugar levels.
| Diabetes Control Level | HbA1c Range | Premium Impact | Policy Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Well Controlled | Below 7% | 10-25% extra | Most companies |
| Moderately Controlled | 7% - 8.5% | 25-50% extra | Limited companies |
| Poorly Controlled | Above 8.5% | 50-100% extra or decline | Very limited options |
Maintain 6-12 months of regular sugar test reports showing stable control. Consistent records demonstrate responsible diabetes management.
Apply when your sugar levels are well-controlled. Avoid applying immediately after a diabetes diagnosis - wait 3-6 months to show stable management.
