Diabetes is an extremely common condition that affects millions of Americans. The likelihood of developing diabetes only increases as your clients get older. To that end, addressing your client’s concerns about life insurance and diabetes is important at any age.
Approximately one in four young adults are living with prediabetes . These individuals have higher-than-normal blood sugar that, left unchecked, will develop into Type 2 diabetes. Since diabetes is normally accompanied by other health issues like obesity and heart disease, most individuals with diabetes already face costly medical expenses each month.
With the annual cost of medical expenses in the U.S. averaging at about $327 billion , your potential clients are looking for an affordable way to protect their families should something happen to them. Since there is often a list of accompanying health issues that accompany diabetes, your diabetic clients will be even more motivated to find a life insurance policy.
Individuals with Type 1 or 2 diabetes are likely under the impression that securing a life insurance policy would be too expensive. Insurance companies have been historically rigid about offering coverage to clients who have preexisting conditions like diabetes. This is especially true if your client is insulin dependent. To that end, individuals with Type 1 diabetes are considered at higher risk, as it is less manageable than Type 2.
Carriers will look to how well the condition is handled by your client and if they are experiencing any additional health issues like hypertension or kidney disease, which will result in a slightly higher premium for their policy. More so, insurance companies might discover side effects related to your client’s diabetes like neuropathy or history of a stroke that will cause them to get rejected for coverage.
As a result, the typical underwriting process can be a deterrent for diabetics seeking life insurance coverage. With Strong Foundations by Foresters, your higher-health-risk clients will now be able to get the coverage they need.
When it comes to securing coverage for your diabetic clients, you cannot do better than the Strong Foundation term life insurance through Foresters.

The underwriting process for this policy is sure to appeal to your diabetic clients. There are no medical or para-medical exams nor any blood tests or fluid collections.

This is a great benefit for your diabetic clients who are worried about being rejected after a thorough underwriting process. With Strong Foundation, your clients will experience a non-invasive application process that won’t serve to limit their coverage or raise their premiums.
The Strong Foundation policy also comes with a list of competitive riders that will benefit your diabetic clients. For instance, they can choose between a chronic, critical or terminal illness rider that will allow them to receive their death benefit if they meet an untimely diagnosis. These options are especially appealing to clients who have preexisting conditions like diabetes that might cause further health complications. Payouts with these riders can be made in one lump sum or through a series of payments as directed by your client.
