Specialized Diabetes Advisory

Niteesh Varshney specializes in "High-Risk Underwriting" for medical conditions. We help get your application approved even if you were previously rejected.

1. Can you get Term Insurance with Diabetes?

The short answer is Yes. Modern insurers like HDFC Life, ICICI Prudential, and Max Life have introduced "Diabetes-Specific" underwriting. If your condition is "Managed," you are eligible for pure protection plans.

Type 2 Diabetes

High acceptance rate. Usually requires HbA1c under 8.0 for standard plans.

Type 1 Diabetes

Requires specialized insurers. Payout terms may vary based on age of onset.

2. The "Magic Number": Understanding HbA1c

Your HbA1c (3-month average sugar) is the most critical metric. Insurers use this grid to decide your premium:

HbA1c Level Category Insurer Response
Below 6.5 Excellent Best Rates (Near Normal)
6.6 - 7.5 Controlled 15-25% Premium Loading
7.6 - 8.5 Moderate Special Medical Review Required
Above 9.0 Uncontrolled High Risk of Postponement

3. How to Avoid Claim Rejection?

For a diabetic person, Full Disclosure is the only way to protect the family. Never hide:

  • Date of Diagnosis (Year you first knew).
  • Current Dosage (Metformin, Glimiperide, or Insulin).
  • Any complications related to Eyes, Kidneys, or Heart.

*Credental Services ensures your medical history is presented professionally to the underwriters to maximize approval chances.
