Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2640623" data-attributes="member: 196898">As you have already mentioned, Remission is not equal to Cure.  i am guessing here, but I suspect that once a diabetic, always a diabetic and hence at increased risk of cardio and other comorbidities that could affect insurance assessment of risk.  You should continue to advise them of your status since omitting this info could lead to a claim being rejected in the future on the grounds of pre-existing condition.  in my experience, it is rare for insurance to increase even when the declaration is admited, and I found it made no difference to my pension  in terms of annuity evaluations.  DVLA still regards diabetes as a special case regardless of Remission.  It also did not affect my Hospital Plan insurance.  But it did affect my mortgage when I remortgaged and I had to get extra health cover insurance. (I finessed that by changing to another provider who were not so fussy).  So look on it as  being a pre-existing condition.</blockquote>
