Hello

i am off to america in march 2012 for 9 months to work as a football coach in new york :)
im a type 1 diabetic and i wondered if anyone can help me with companies which cover diabetics in america?
I have insurance with Bupa UK but this doesnt cover me as a diabetic.

Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi mcorlett, I always use Virgin travel insurance, they are pretty cheap usually for me even with type 1. Don't know what it will cost though for 9 months!

Enjoy your trip, I go to NYC in April but just for 5 days.

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Make sure you tell them you will be working as most holiday insurance will not cover you if you are.

Better to be covered than to accept a cheap quote that will be no use should you need it :thumbup:

I have akin problem. I (perhaps dont know it yet) will move from German to the UK and i just want to know, where I can learn something about the medical infrastructure in my future neighbourhood. I just searched for some kind of Searchpages like this: [Mod edit: link removed], but are their any special informations about diabetes specialists?
