Dr Jelley had a solid financial background however his IFA has never been able to source suitable life cover for him. This surprised him, as he is a young and generally fit and healthy Diabetic, where the risk factors behind his condition are high but are very well controlled.
Diabetes UK Insurances Services was mentioned to him by his previous Diabetic nurse at Nevill Hall Hospital, and he decided to try our scheme for cover. Dr Jelley has lived with Diabetes since the age of three, about 24 years now, and has never faced any discrimination at all in his life or career - only when he wanted to source life cover and professional indemnity (which he has now sourced through his work). He first attempted to get Life cover when buying his first house in 2006 and took out a policy with us (via Partnership). When buying his new house recently he again approached an IFA, to source life insurance, but this didn't work out.
Dr Jelley feels that Diabetes doesn't impede him in his day-to-day life, but people still sometimes treat him with kid gloves. He wants the peace of mind that comes with knowing that if anything were to happen to him, his family wouldn't have to try and cope with the mortgage repayments and other financial worries.
Our premium is not much more expensive than the cost of the premium his wife is paying - certainly not enough to make it prohibitive and he's really impressed and pleased with our service.
If being quoted on the site can help anyone get life cover, then he'll be a very happy man!
