Affordable Life Insurance With Diabetes
Having Life Insurance or Income Protection in place is really important, whether it’s to cover the costs of your funeral, to ensure that your loved ones can continue to live comfortably if you’re no longer there to provide for them or to pay for your bills if you cannot work.
For most people, getting Life Insurance or Income Protection is easy - they just pop a few details into a comparison website and then choose the cheapest option. But when you have Diabetes, things aren’t quite so simple.
The problem is that, as soon as you tell a Life Insurance company you’ve got Diabetes, they’re going to ask you a whole load of extra questions. And once you’ve answered those questions, they’ll probably have some follow-up ones for you.
Worse still, after you’ve spent ages giving them all this information, there’s a good chance the insurer will decide they don’t want to cover you after all.
Even if they do agree to insure you, you’ll probably find that the price of the policy jumps through the roof and/or that the insurer adds exclusions to the policy which mean it won’t pay out if you die as a result of something linked to your Diabetes.
And what’s the point of paying for a Life Insurance or Income Protection policy unless you can be sure that it will definitely pay out when you need it too?
Fortunately there is a solution.
Here at More Than Diabetes, we specialise in arranging Life Insurance and Income Protection policies for people with Diabetes. And, as well as having access to mainstream insurance companies, we also work with niche insurers who specialise in clients with medical conditions such as Diabetes.
This means we know a lot about Diabetes!
And because we understand your condition we’ll be able to ask you all the right questions at the outset and go straight to an insurer that’s going to offer you the right cover at the right price - saving you time, money and hassle.
So if you want the certainty and peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ve got a life insurance or Income Protection policy that gives you the right cover, then talk to us for some no-obligation advice.

Why Choose Us?
Fast Decisions
Here at More Than Diabetes we specialise in arranging Life Insurance for people with medical conditions such as Diabetes - that’s all we do.
Our specialist knowledge means we won’t waste your time by applying to insurers who aren’t going to accept you because of your Diabetes.
Plus, we’ll be able to ask you all the right questions up front through our assessment form and avoid all the to-ing and fro-ing that you’re likely to experience if you talk to someone who isn’t a specialist in Diabetic Life Insurance.
The Right Price
As someone with Diabetes, you’ll probably have to pay a bit more for your Life Insurance than someone who doesn't have Diabetes.
Here at More Than Diabetes, we know exactly which insurers are more lenient for people with Diabetes and therefore we can do a proper comparison of the providers in order to find you cover at the right price.
Peace of Mind
When people buy Life Insurance they obviously hope they’re never going to have to claim on the policy. But if the worst happens and your loved ones do need to make a claim, then the last thing you want is for that claim to be turned down because of your diabetes - especially as you’ll no longer be there to help fight the decision.
That’s why you should talk to us before you take out a policy. Our expert knowledge of both the insurance market and of diabetes means that we can get you cover that you can be confident your diabetes has been disclosed correctly.
No Call Centres
More Than Diabetes was founded by a father-and-sons team who were fed up with hearing how people with Diabetes kept receiving bad advice that led to them getting turned down for Life Insurance or ending up with the wrong kind of cover.
We’ve remained family-run to this day, with no call centres. That means that you’ll always speak directly to a named UK-based advisor who can give you the accurate and personalised insurance advice that you need to ensure you get the right cover at the right price.

Diabetes Life Insurance FAQs
Most life insurance policies are designed to pay a lump sum to your loved ones if you die while covered by the policy. This is to ease pressure on your family financially and provide support for childcare costs, household bills or mortgage payments.
No. Never.
This is one of our core values to never ‘sell’ to someone and never ask them to decide on the first call.
We train all our advisors to this standard and will always allow you the time and space to decide in your own time.
This is completely down to you. There are no set premiums as it’s based on how much cover you need and your personal circumstances. It is likely that you will pay more than someone without diabetes, however it is our job to get you the lowest premium possible.
Yes you can, without any penalties or charges. We will even keep in contact with you to review the policy if your situation changes or we can find you a better deal.
Because you have diabetes, in a lot of cases the insurance company will want to write to your GP first, so this can take a few weeks. However, depending on what type of diabetes you have and the control, insurance companies will make decisions within 24 hours.
No, we will not charge you a fee for our services relating to insurance, but we will receive commission from the product provider. The commission will be calculated as a proportion of the premiums paid for the insurance product. You will receive a quotation which will tell you about the fees and charges relating to any insurance policy that we recommend.
