Most people living with diabetes have at some point encountered difficulties arranging protection products, whether it is life cover, critical illness benefit or income replacement.
Although diabetes can be treated, people with diabetes are more likely to develop medical complications, such as blindness, nerve damage and kidney problems.
Buying the right insurance policy can give you financial protection and peace of mind if the unexpected happens. Unfortunately, having diabetes can affect both your existing policies and many new policies that you might choose.
