Will my policy cover complications from diabetes such as kidney issues or strokes?

Yes. As long as you’ve declared these during your application, our travel insurance can cover diabetes emergencies including kidney problems, strokes or diabetic attacks.

How are premiums calculated for diabetic travel insurance?

We look at your current health, how you’re managing diabetes and any recent hospital admissions. This helps us provide fair personalised pricing with the right level of cover for your travel insurance policy.

Do I need to declare my diabetes even if it’s well controlled?

Absolutely. Even if your diabetes is stable through medication, insulin or diet, you’ll still need to declare diabetes so your policy covers any related issues while you’re away.

Yes, we specialise in travel insurance for people with pre existing medical conditions. Just make sure to include all relevant details when applying so we can offer the most accurate quote.
