It can be particularly if you try to obtain it through standard insurance providers or brokers. The good news is that you can still get peace of mind cover thanks to our specialist team.
Type 3c diabetes, also known as pancreatogenic diabetes is often linked to conditions such as cystic fibrosis or pancreatic cancer that can cause the pancreas to stop producing insulin. Most people live a healthy life with type 3c diabetes, thanks to exercise, diet and lifestyle changes.
Here’s the truth:
While most people in the UK live with type 2 diabetes, type 3c accounts for around 2% of all diabetes cases.
But that statistic represents tens of thousands of people who need life insurance after a diagnosis.
Pancreatogenic diabetes life insurance in the UK is similar to policy cover for type 1 and 2. You’ll need to provide medical details so a broker can assess your risk and calculate your monthly premiums. These are likely to be higher than standard, because of the greater risk.
How does specialist type 3c diabetes life insurance in the UK work?
Life insurance means your partner and family will be financially supported if you die and they need to make a claim. There are two main types of life insurance for diabetes type 3c: whole of life and term life insurance.
We’ll look at factors including:
We’ll find and compare affordable policies that give you the cover you need for complete peace of mind.
Whole of life insurance for diabetes type 3c pays a lump sum when you die. It’s tax-free and is typically used to cover funeral expenses or pay an inheritance tax debt.
Term life insurance plans for type 3c diabetes life cover in the UK typically last between 5 and 70 years, and if you die after the policy ends, your loved ones won’t receive a payout. However, you can claim a tax-free lump sum if you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness while you’re paying your premiums.
You’re guaranteed to be accepted, with no medical questions. However, lump sum payouts are typically much lower.
