New study from diabetes UK says that diabetes has reach 4.8 million and that number will rise!

They say in 2025 (5 years from now) it will increase to 5.3 million

Complications of diabetes

People with type 2 diabetes are 50% more likely to die prematurely than those without diabetes. A common complication of diabetes that can lead to early death is heart disease. People with type 2 diabetes are also two to two-and-a-half times more likely to experience heart failure and twice more likely to have a heart attack compared to people without diabetes.

Now here is the problem, if you currently do not have health insurance and you get diabetes – you will not be able to ever get this covered privately along with associated conditions! however if you have private medical insurance in place when its diagnosed, conditions related to diabetes will be covered, as you can imagine there will be lot’s of associated conditions including your entire cardiovascular system!

If you do not have health insurance and you currently have diabetes, to get insurance for diabetes there is still one health insurer that will give you £1,000 a year toward private diabetes treatment – call Switch Health on 01242 371300 for more information
