This is another one of those life insurance underwriting areas where companies are definitely not all in agreement. Time to contact an independent agent who can choose the right company. They can pretty much all agree that if you have high blood pressure that is...

You gotta love technology. Sometimes the medical science types can come up with a test that is so……….so………..all inclusive, that it falls short in the category of providing statistically significant useful information. One such...

I read an interesting blog on www.thediabetesblog.com today written by Chris Sparling. Citing a study done by Northwestern University, he takes exception to their conclusion that depression can cause diabetes. My take on that is that it is probably the other way...

Just having returned from a week in Jamaica thinking to escape one of my greatest passions about life insurance, diabetes, the more a I got whacked up side the head with the fact that it seems to epidemic everywhere. Turns out Jamaica has a real problem with juvenile...

The question often comes up, “why is type 2 diabetes a big deal when a person is trying to buy life insurance”? After all, you take your medicine and keep your blood sugar down and, well, what’s the problem? The truth is that if all it involved was...

If I were speaking to an auditorium full of people, a specially selected audience, all of whom had type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or epilepsy, and I asked for a show of hands for everyone who had tried to buy life insurance since their diagnosis, likely I would see a...
