If you have been declined for life insurance in the past due to having type 1 diabetes, it could still be possible to secure cover.
If you were declined by a mainstream insurer, you may be able to secure cover through a specialist insurer.
A specialist insurer is a provider who specialises in offering cover to non-standard applicants.
Alternatively, if you’re aged 50 - 85, you could secure an over 50s plan. No medical information is required with this cover, so your condition won’t impact your eligibility for cover.
