Hi there,
Recently declined extended life insurance for 200,000. I am 26 years old, no episodes, a1c always in the 7’s, on insulin pump, and have been diabetic for close to 15 years. Frequent visits to my endocrinologist (every 3 months). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may qualify for a traditional life insurance policy. You would definitely qualify for a Simplified Issue policy. We will email you know. Thanks
Hi there. I am 52 and been on an insulin pump for 10 years. I have never had any issues with high or low sugar passing out. I have regular care from my doctors, and my A1C’s are in the mid to high 7’s, and my sugars are always in a good range. I was recently declined any additional coverage thru my company plan, and wonder if I can get some extra coverage from your company.

Hi Chris, Yes we would be able to get you coverage. Depending on whether you have had insulin coma or insulin shock you may be able to qualify for a Simplified Issue policy (no medical tests and a short series of health questions). We will send you a separate email now.
Can I still get life insurance I was just declined for diabities? I would appreciate any help you can give me,Thanks
Thanks for the note. Depending on your blood sugar levels and other issue you could qualify for a traditional life insurance plan. You may want to first look into a simplified issue plan because in the event you are declined your options will be more limited.
