Hi
I am likely to be diagnosed as diabetic in the next couple of weeks as due my blood test etc. My HbA1c predictor is coming out between 6.1 and 6.5 at the moment if that helps. My car insurance renewal is due shortly. Having read the DVLA website, it says that it's only notifiable to them if using insulin. I would imagine that I would be put on metformin so I wouldn't need to notify them if so.
When using the quote engines, it always asks " do you have a notifiable condition" which would be "no" (assuming the above is correct). I've read on here that you have to notify the insurers anyway, so do you have to put " yes" to the notifiable section but then "no" to the haven't advised the DVLA? That makes it sound like you are trying to avoid the law.
Due to the timing, I am trying to avoid having to make an amendment to my new policy but similarly, I don't want to say I have diabetes if I don't. Or if it went the other way, I don't want to purchase a new policy and then the insurer either hike the price or get shirty and refuse cover.
I'm rambling but hope this makes sense.
