Finding travel insurance for diabetics
As with many on-going illnesses diabetes is not only something you need to deal with in your day-to-day life, it’s a condition that can affect your travel insurance choices too.
When assessing your suitability for a travel insurance policy, companies like to make sure they have as much information about you as possible so they can provide an accurate quote.
Pre-existing health conditions such as diabetes can sometimes raise your insurance premiums or make it more difficult for you to get a policy. Ensure you’re covered and care free on your next holiday by checking out our travel insurance options for diabetics.
Choosing appropriate cover
To the majority of travel insurance companies, it doesn’t matter whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. They also probably aren’t interested in how well you manage your condition. For them, the bottom line is how big a risk your condition makes you. Rather than choose your travel insurance through a mainstream provider who may bump up your premium to recoup their potential costs, try approaching specialist companies like travel insurer Staysure . They tailor the policy to your needs and can cover diabetes as well as related conditions to ensure that you can travel with peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Diabetes UK Insurance is a highly specialised insurance company that focuses primarily on offering cover for sufferers. It makes every effort to ensure that not only do you have the holiday insurance you need to put your mind at rest, but it also guarantees that you’ll talk to a friendly and knowledgeable team member who understands your condition and needs. There are three different levels of insurance to choose from and the policy includes cover for the whole travelling party.
It’s also worth having a look at All Clear Travel, an insurance company specialising in policies for pre-existing medical conditions. Not only will it provide the level of cover you need to enjoy your holiday to the fullest, but it also offers some great guides and advice for preparing for your trip and making sure that you’re able to properly manage your condition while you’re away.
Finding a good deal on diabetic travel insurance
There are also several insurance companies who have adapted their policies to offer excellent cover for diabetics. Holiday Extras, for example, has a new travel insurance product that’s specially designed to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions like diabetes.
