Can You Get Life Insurance With Diabetes?

Life Insurance With Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the most common health conditions we help clients navigate. Here is what to expect:

Type 2 Diabetes

  • Well-controlled (A1C under 7.0): Standard rates at many carriers
  • Moderately controlled (A1C 7.0-8.5): Substandard rates (25-75% increase)
  • Poorly controlled (A1C over 8.5): Limited traditional options, but final expense and guaranteed issue available

Type 1 Diabetes

  • More limited options than Type 2
  • Well-controlled Type 1 can get coverage at substandard rates
  • Some carriers specialize in Type 1 diabetics

Key Factors Carriers Consider

  • A1C levels and stability
  • How long you have had diabetes
  • Medications and insulin use
  • Complications (neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney issues)
  • Other health conditions

We work with carriers who specialize in diabetic applicants. Get a free quote to see your options.
