We went to get medical travel insurance this afternoon for an upcoming trip. Once I declared I was diabetic (Type 2) all the fun started.
I'm considered unstable because I was only diagnosed in January. It needs to be a year. Since the Dr. recommended going on metformin and I begged for another 3 months - more unstable status, I cannot be covered for it. Let's say I go a year, no drugs, then I'm stable... go on drugs, change dose or medication, boom, back to unstable.
I would have thought they'd be happy with one who is not on meds..
But I don't know what conditions I'd be likely to get as a result of this on a short term basis. I.E. 15 day out of country coverage. Coverage for everything else still applies.
My bank account took quite the hit.
