World Diabetes Day was on 14 November, aiming to highlight the health challenge that diabetes has become across the world. It is currently the fifth most common cause of death and is now one of the world’s most common long-term health conditions1.
It is a health challenge in the UK too; the number of people with diabetes has doubled in the last 20 years2. This is mainly due to the rapid rise in the number of people with Type 2 diabetes which accounts for 90% of the 4.7 million people diagnosed in the UK1.
Type 2 diabetes is a serious health condition but lots can be done to reduce the impact it can cause. Steps such as weight loss, exercise and blood-sugar monitoring can help delay or prevent conditions such as vision loss, limb amputation or kidney failure.
But regardless of how well a person with Type 2 diabetes manages their condition, they can face barriers when it comes to accessing financial products such as life insurance.
At The Exeter, we don’t think that’s right.
Helping more of your clients
We think it’s only fair that clients with Type 2 diabetes can get life cover at a fair price.
That’s why with Managed Life, our specialist life cover product, we give your clients a simple goal that reflects how well they manage their diabetes.
The good news? If they hit that goal, their premium will reduce. If they hit it again the reductions will continue until they reach an agreed minimum premium.
32% received a premium reduction
In the first half of 2019, 32% of our Managed Life members with Type 2 diabetes saw a reduction in their premiums at anniversary by reaching their goal.
With Managed Life, you can cover more of your clients and save them money, all for managing their condition in a positive way.
