Life Insurance for Type 1 Diabetics

Sorry, as of 2014, this carrier is no longer offering the product. For now and in the foreseeable future, Type 1 Diabetics, if under the age of 50, will have to consider a Fully Underwritten life insurance plan. There is no cost to you for this non-invasive plan.

Obtaining life insurance for Type 1 diabetics can be a challenge. I do have a couple of options for a Whole Life (Permanent) and Term Life Insurance.

Simplified Issue No Medical Exam Whole Life Insurance:

The basics:

Policy amounts $3,000 – $30,000

Term Life Insurance for Type 1 Diabetics

I have one carrier that will offer a fully underwritten Term Life Insurance plan. This will require a , no cost to you, medical exam. They will also scrutinize the same general information as listed in the Whole Life plan above. If you are a Tobacco user, they will not consider your application.
