Thanks for your post. I hope you can read my threads and my response to this. Insurance criteria is definitely disappointing. I'm fortunate enough to work in the public sector however it's disheartening nonetheless that diabetes is regarded so harshly. Thanks again.
Thanks for your post. Having researched a bit more it certainly does appear to be a futile exercise. I received info from my mortgage advisor about an insurance company offering IP but their criteria was to have an an HBA1c of 53. For the majority of T1's I expect this to be unrealistic...
As a first time buyer I have recently discovered difficulties with obtaining income protection insurance due to being Type 1 diabetic. I'm interested to learn if anyone else has struggled to obtain IP insurance and/or been successful?
