You'll need to do some research and phoning around but if it's any help I made some enquiries about 1.5 years ago and Axa Insurance gave me a good deal compared to what the other insurers were offering. The price depends on your family, they will ask questions like how many hospital admissions your child has had in the past year etc so the price really depends on your family and will be very individual.

Hi rosiewinning
I have travel insurance linked with my bank account and when I phoned them a few years ago regarding my son they said that it would be covered, they made a note on their side and all we needed to do was have a standard letter from our GP/Consultant saying my son was a T1. We have had this letter now for some time, I take it with us when we go on holiday and have not as yet needed to show it.
Hope this helps.
