Hello to all, I have recently tried unsuccessfully to get life insurance. Tried Zurich and Smart life insurance. Zurich contacted my doctor before telling me the wouldn't be able to offer me anything 'at this time' I answered all their questions truthfully on the application before contacting my doctor so don't understand why they took the time to contact my g.p if they already knew I wasn't eligible. Smart life insurance asked me health and life style questions but stopped immediately when I said I was type 1 diabetic and said they wouldn't be able to offer me anything.
I am 28, 8 st 1lb, 5ft3in, non smoker, asthmatic, hba1c 5.0. Haven't been hospitalised with complications since I was 18yrs old.
Basically my question to forum members is: is it possible to get life insurance if you have been ty 1 diabetic for over 26 years and if so who do I contact?
Thanks.
