yes, you should notify your insurance company. They might increase your premiums slightly next year, but the main reason to do it is in case you have to make a claim. If you have an accident, even one which is not your fault, and you haven't told them you are diabetic they can, and probably will, refuse to pay your claim.
 
I am going through the process of getting a life insurance, its not straight forward i think, been a week now and still no news from insurers. Do you mind if i ask who are you with just in case the insurance company rejects me for whatever reason and I have to go to someone else.

Well you know !
cant bare the hAssell of the company's scrutiny feel like a leper.

Would be interested in other comments on insurance though !
 
For car insurance being treated with insulin will have no effect on the premium you pay, if it does go up next year then it will just be in line with the usual annual increase in insurance that everyone has to pay.

Things like life insurance is expensive if you take them out after diagnosis, but if you didn't have diabetes before you took the policy out then it will not effect your premiums.
