If it was me I would e-mail the company and ask for confirmation of what you have been told. Then you at least have something that you can use if they do try to wriggle out of a claim. The person you spoke to may be correct but it is always best to have it confirmed either in writing or an e-mail.

It is essential that you disclose everything otherwise they could refuse to pay out in the event of a claim. I had a couple of other issues in addition to the diabetes and Diabetes UK insurers refused to cover me. I have used All Clear for the past 2 years and they cover me for all my present conditions. My husband is a cancer survivor and my son is healthy. We pay about 200 pounds for an annual policy for all 3 of us. It allows us to travel independently of each other and there are no exclusions. We all travel frequently so I think the price is OK.
