Yeah I know it is. the thing is, I did a quote with the same insurance company my friend has just taken her insurance out with.. she paid £1300 for a year with no box, she's been passed her test less than a week and I got quoted £1400, I've been passed two years, I've got a newer car and a lower engine so I'm putting it down to the fact I've got a 3 year restricted license because of my diabetes

I wouldn't necessarily say it was your diabetes.
The value of your car will impact the cost. It may be newer, but that means it would be more expensive for the insurer to replace if it was written off in an accident where you were at fault, or where no other vehicle was involved. Things like age, postcode, how you actually did on your telematic box will be taken into account, although the latter will only be available to your current company I think. I'm not certain about the telematic stuff.
I don't know if that insurance was for you only, but it's interesting, my insurance (I have been driving 40 years, so that gives you a clue to my age) is cheaper with my partner on it, than for me alone, and by a notable amount. That said,
YOU must be the primary driver for your car. It could be worth adding your Mum or Dad, for a quote at least, provided they've been driving a while, haven't had any accidents or too many points their license.
Insurance is quite a complicated business.
