Insurance companies are the worst. Can't have cheap premiums because I'm diabetic Travel, life or criticval illness insurance premiums are up to 3 times what they would be if I can get cover at all. I'm sure the risk isn't 3 times higher!
I'm having a righ time with the driving licence too. I want to drive a 5.5 tonne lorry. It is possible if you're diabetic in the UK but the red tape is horrific.
What's more I find that non-diabetics can just decare for themselves that they are safe to do something but I have to get everything checked and signed off by doctors who ask me the answers to write down half the time. It makes me feel like some haughty school kid who has to get a note from his parents.
Same again if I want to go scuba diving... when will it all end!
