Hi - I am a Type 1 diabetic and I am planning to attempt to trek up Aconcagua in a couple of months. As the mountain is nearly 7,000m high I need specialist insurance that covers high altitude treks. Is there anyone out there who can recommend a good company that would cover a diabetic? I am struggling to find one on the specialist mountaineering websites. I have found companies that will insure a T1 to 6,000m but adding another 1,000m makes it a different ball game!
Very many thanks for any advice (on isurance or infact high altitude trekking if you have experience of managing type 1 diabetes at altitude)!
