I’ve been delaying the purchase of the travel insurance for one good reason, Diabetes.<\/p>\n

I did a quick travel insurance quote straight after Amy was diagnosed with Diabetes and was horrified at the cost, which had risen from \u00a385 back in 2009 to nearly \u00a3300 this time.<\/p>\n

Not being able to put it off much longer I finally decided to take the unavoidable plunge and make the purchase today. Contacting one of our current insurers I got a quote which didn’t include any loaded premium for the Diabetes, then they quoted me for the extra bit. I waited on the phone dreading to hear the next few words.<\/p>\n
