I am type 2 diabetic, diagnosed about 12 years ago. Although being well controlled ( without any drugs except for slightly underactive thyroid)I did go on the Michael Mosley/Roy Taylor diet last February and lost 15Kg..
This resulted in my HBA1c has reduced to under 30. I have used the follow up methods from the book and maintained this for almost a year now. My GP says that if he did not have any medical records and tested for type 2, he would not diagnose me as diabetic.
Although I realise that diabetes cannot be reversed, how should this affect travel insurance? I am, of course fully honest with my disclosure, but find that my premium is increased as a result. This is with companies that specialise in pre-existing conditions.
Does anyone know if these companies would accept further evidence to show the full extent of my condition. The standard forms do not distinguish between levels of diabetes. It's rather galling to pay more than a non-diabetic with worse blood sugar levels than mine.
