Hi guys
My first time posting on the forum, T1 diabetic for 21yrs I am after advice on getting life insurance. I moved into my own home just under a year ago and looked into life insurance for mortgage protection. I only wanted basic life insurance and went through application with aviva which took 6months for them to finally get back to me with a letter stating they wouldn't insure me due to being diabetic
Anybody else had issues or suggestions of where to try?
Thank you x

Do you mean they wouldn't insure you?

Some companies won't insure type 1's or unfortunately heavily load the premiums, they do it on a risk basis and sadly diabetes is up their high on their list. Try and look around for a few more quotes, there's some specialist insurance brokers who specialise in finding policies for conditions like diabetes.
