 It Keeps Getting Better! Life insurance for adults with type 1 diabetes has continued to improve since I last updated this post in 2019. Testing, monitoring and insulin administration has been improving as fast as any technology and these advancements have the...

It’s been 10 years since I wrote this post. A lot has changed in how life insurance companies view gestational diabetes. Some worse and some in the right direction. I hope bringing this up to date will be helpful. All the best. What’s The Fuss Over...

Were You Denied Life Insurance Because Of A “High Risk” Medical Condition? Being declined for anything just feels wrong, right? Being denied a car loan when you know you can make the payments is kind of a personal affront. I mean the ads on TV are...

I suppose with that title this post could go about any direction, but what I had in mind was life insurance as affected by type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Both types of diabetes, given optimal age of onset, current age and control as measured by your quarterly A1c...

Ah, the joys of being somewhere post mid life and nearly as old as dirt. It seems that we get focused on the negatives like the aches and pains and trying to figure out if retirement is a gift or a joke, and we don’t take time to grab on to the big advantages...

Since the ING Reliastar cholesterol ratio bell curve debacle 3 years ago I’ve been given to musing about what really goes on behind the closed doors or a life insurance underwriter’s office. Are they in there pouring through records and giving credits and...

I was contacted today by a woman who was pretty distressed by the fact that Gerber Life wouldn’t approve her 17 year old daughter for life insurance. The young lady has type 1 diabetes and I want to touch on a couple of subjects with this particular situation....

That phrase is usually followed by a conversation that you may end up feeling you really didn’t need to have, but I’m here with a breath of fresh air, a talk we need to have about how to get better life insurance rates when you have diabetes. Why now? Why...

I was going to start this post by saying, “If I was asked what a life insurance underwriter’s job duties are”, and then I decided no one would really ask me that so please allow me to inflict my opinion on you. Life insurance underwriters have to...

And when I answer the phone, and it’s me who answers it, I truly want to know just that. How can I help you? If you found me you probably have already experienced life insurance agents who couldn’t help you or wouldn’t help you. You may have suffered...

One of my pet peeves with life insurance companies is that some are too slow and some are way too fast at issuing life insurance policies once approved. And why would I be whining about companies that move that paperwork right out the door? If the policy is approved...

I love it when companies finally make forward progress in life insurance underwriting of well controlled health issues. What I can’t work with is when they get weak kneed a year later and throw all the engines in reverse. We’ve been through that kind of...

Not too long ago I went off on American General for using the CRL laboratories smart score system as justification for declining a client. Since then I have been on somewhat of a quest searching for just what the smart score is and more precisely how it is supposed to...

I still own the domain name “You Just Can’t Fix Stupid.com” and this is one of those days when I would like to dust it off and go live with it. The new American General Life Insurance “Smart Score” underwriting system has just recently...

$12 a month! 70% lower life insurance rates! Just pennies a day! Between the internet and tv there can’t possibly be a person left that doesn’t know that somehow, somewhere people might qualify for really cheap insurance. But how do you know when...
