Yes, it’s important to declare all your pre-existing medical conditions, including diabetes, on your travel insurance, just in case the worst happens when you’re away. With proper travel insurance, you can go on holiday with peace of mind. We see that as the key to a happy holiday.
With 1 in 20 people claiming on their Annual Travel Insurance in 2018**, things go wrong on holiday more often than you might’ve realised. That’s why it’s really important to declare all conditions that you have – even if you think they aren’t important or that you won’t need to claim.
Whether you have type 1, type 2 or diabetes in pregnancy, it’s essential to declare your pre-existing medical condition on your travel insurance, so you can travel with confidence.
When it comes to holiday insurance for diabetics, it’s worth doing right.

It’s important you declare your diabetes and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

"Excellent service on phone when buying travel insurance. We have used Staysure before and had to make a claim from Singapore in an emergency situation. It was handled well, and all financial payments were dealt with efficiently and speedily. Would highly recommend!"

For holidays and trips to Europe, it’s a condition of our insurance that you get an EHIC.
Having an EHIC allows you to have subsidised or free healthcare in most European countries when using their state healthcare provider - like our NHS.
But an EHIC doesn’t cover other things that can go wrong, like having to cancel your holiday or having to pay for emergency medical transportation home. While an EHIC helps to reduce your potential medical costs where subsided healthcare is available, it doesn’t serve as a substitute for proper travel insurance.
If you can use your EHIC and you’ve still had to pay a subsidised fee for healthcare, we’ll remove the excess fee for medical emergency claims.
Of course, every individual's medical circumstances vary, but the types of questions you can expect about diabetes include:
If something changes before you go on holiday, you’ll need to let us know.
Whether that change is updating us with your medical conditions, a change of medication, or adding optional extras. Where we can help, we will.
What we aren’t able to do is reduce coverage in return for a partial refund so please do check that you’re happy with the level of cover when you book.
Whenever you need us, our 24/7 claims team is here for you.
