  • 1.  Travel insurance recommendations

    Posted 26-08-2022 16:59
    Hi Members,

    We have been asked by a fellow member recently for recommendations for travel insurance companies for people living with diabetes.

    Do you have any recommendations?

    Earlier this year I took out annual travel insurance with N IB. It wasn't cheap but Diabetes is included in a list of existing conditions which are covered.

    Unfortunately many with diabetes suffer with other issues-cardiovascular, neuropathy etc. and some insurers are reluctant to cover multiple conditions, particularly as you get older.

    I, as a 71 year old male, have been able to get cover with Insure and Go, albeit at a hefty premium.
