having type 2 diabetes myself for the last few years and having had it under control with diet and tablets and never, [to my knowledge], suffered any insurance loading or increased premium because of it. i got to wondering if i were to require to go onto insulin injections in the future, [i thought this only applied to type 1] but according to the diabetic nurse, it is also very common for type 2 patients to end up on insulin as well,not to prevent hypos, but to help keep good stable control as you get older! do the insurance companies take a different view on the condition and charge accordingly, or even refuse cover if you are on insulin? i am also led to believe that you must notify the dvla about the insulin and you are then restricted to 3500kgs and are required to have yearly medicals ! as i am in the process of looking for my first A class i thought it might be prudent of me to seek the answer to this question now rather than later! diabetes is being diagnosed in more and more people nowadays so i am sure i am not the first person to find themselves in this position and i cetainly wont be the last !
