I am wondering if anyone can assist with issues connected to travel insurance relating to'pre existing conditions' ie Diabetes Type 1. Any advice/experience would be helpful. Are there specialist providers of insurance cover for long term conditions such as Diabetes?
I look forward to getting more involved in the Community and sharing the experiences from managing/not managing! my diabetes in older age. Many thanks

Hi @annieyeo52

Not sure if this is any help to you, it’s from our forum website

Guide to Diabetic Travel Insurance

Travel insurance for people with diabetes is often loaded with higher premiums due to people with diabetes having a higher risk.

We have a few well travelled T1s so I’m sure they’ll be someone along with more knowledge than me I know @In Response travels a lot so they may have some tips

Thanks for the tag @lovinglife
I use AllClear for my travel insurance as it covers pre existing conditions like diabetes,
It is more expensive than most but I think that it is worth it for peace of mind.
As I travel frequently, I buy an annual policy.

I think Diabetes UK (the charity not this site) offer a discount (https://www.diabetes.org.uk/support-for-you/financial-services/travel-insurance)
