You’re Not the Only One Wondering, “Can I Even Get Approved?”

If you’re diabetic, you’ve probably seen or heard things like:

  • “You won’t qualify.”

  • “Your A1C is too high.”

  • “It’s going to be way too expensive.”

I talk to people every week in Olathe, Overland Park, Lenexa, Gardner, and across the Kansas City metro who feel the same way. I remind people that if you never inquire, the answer will always be “No”, so lets find out for you,

The truth is:
There are life insurance options designed for people with diabetes.
Even if you use insulin.
Even if your A1C isn’t perfect.
Even if you’ve been declined before.

My job isn’t to judge your health — it’s to help you understand your options in plain English and find something that makes sense for your situation.

How We Make This Simple

  1. A Quick, Friendly Conversation – We start with a short phone call or Zoom. We’ll talk about your diabetes history, medications, A1C, and what you want your life insurance to do for your family. No pressure, no sales script.
  2. I Match You With Carriers Who Work With Diabetics – Not all companies underwrite diabetes the same way. I work with carriers that are more understanding of diabetic clients and have guidelines for different A1C ranges, meds, and control.
  3. You Decide What Fits Your Budget – I’ll lay out options in plain language — monthly cost, coverage amount, and how it all works. You choose what feels right. My role is to guide, not push.

How Your A1C and Diabetes History Affect Life Insurance

 

Carriers don’t just look at the word “diabetes” — they look at the details. That’s good news, because those details can work in your favor.

Key points (use as bullets or icons):

  • A1C Range: Better-controlled A1C can open up more choices and better rates.

  • Medications: Using insulin doesn’t automatically disqualify you — it just changes which carriers are best.

  • Time Since Diagnosis: How long you’ve had diabetes matters, but it’s not the whole story.

  • Other Conditions: Blood pressure, cholesterol, and build (height/weight) are part of the picture.

You don’t need to know how every carrier underwrites these — that’s what I’m here for. I’ll help you translate your health picture into real-world options.

Want a friendly, judgment-free review of your situation? I’d be glad to help.

Common Questions From Diabetic Clients

 

Q1: Can I get life insurance if I use insulin?
A: In many cases, yes. It depends on your age, A1C, other health conditions, and the carrier. Some companies are much more diabetic-friendly than others. That’s where an independent agent who understands diabetes can really help.

Q2: Is it more expensive because I’m diabetic?
A: There can be extra cost compared to someone without diabetes, but that doesn’t mean it’s unaffordable. We’ll look at different coverage amounts and plan types to find something that fits your budget.

Q3: What if my A1C has been high recently?
A: That doesn’t automatically disqualify you. It may narrow which companies make sense right now, or we might stage things so we apply once your numbers are a bit more stable. Either way, we’ll go over it together.

Q4: What if I was declined before?
A: You’re not alone. Different companies have very different diabetic guidelines. Being declined in the past doesn’t mean you never have options — it just means we need to be more strategic this time.

Q5: Is there any cost to talk with you?
A: No. There’s never a fee to review your options or ask questions. If we find something that works for you and you decide to move forward, the insurance company pays me — not you.
