The Practical Protection Podcast – Episode 9 – Diabetes

In this episode we are chatting about diabetes. We try and keep the inevitable focus on coronavirus to a minimum in these episodes, but it's certainly unavoidable throughout this one. There have been some significant links between coronavirus deaths and diabetes, which has in turn led insurers to change the way they are offering cover.

We discuss the potential insurance terms for diabetics prior to covid-19, during the lockdown period and what we hope will happen post pandemic.

Our 3 key takeaways:

1. 1 in every 15 people in the UK has diabetes.
2. The importance of self-knowledge and engagement with medical advice, in determining the potential terms of insurance.
3. Case study client that was able to have life insurance and income protection, with a number of medical conditions including type 1 diabetes.
