In order to get you a competitive life insurance quote, we will need some information regarding your type 2 diabetes.  First and foremost, we need to know your most recent HbA1c level.  This is the main thing that life insurance companies look at.  The HbA1c level measures your average blood sugar levels over the last 6 to 12 weeks.  For someone with diabetes the goal is to be under 7%.  In addition, the life insurance companies will want to know the following:

• Age of diabetes onset
• Height and weight
• Medications and dosages
• Complications from diabetes
• Are you a smoker?
• Any other medical conditions?

However, underwriting is a major factor when it comes to who will have the cheapest life insurance quotes.  You might run quotes base on qualifying for a preferred non-tobacco health class and company A might be the lowest, but you might not qualify for that health class with company A.  Perhaps, company B will classify you as a preferred risk and company A will classify you as a standard risk.  In this case company B wins.

Every company has different guidelines that they use when determing what class an individual will qualify for.  For example, if you ar 6 foot 209lbs you might be super preferred with one company and preferred with another.  How do you know which way a company will classify you?  To start you can use our health analyzer.  You can also speak with one of our representatives.

Many things go into determining your underwritng class.  Underwriters will look at your cholesterol, blood pressure, family history, driving record, medications, drug abuse history, criminal history, tobacco use, height, weight and they will review medical records.  This is why it’s important to consult with a professional in addition to taking the first step, which is running quotes online.

A Return of Premium Rider (ROP) is available on some term insurance policies.  This rider returns the sum of all annual premium paid(including base policy fee and ROP rider premium) at the end of the initial term period, provided the policy owner is still living and the policy remains in force. If the policy is surrendered before the end of the initial term period, less than 100 % of the premium will be returned.  The longer you wait the higher percentage you will get back.  Adding the return of premium rider will increase the overall cost of the policy.

To determine if the additional cost is worth it, you need figure out what you would earn if you invested the difference.  To make a fair comparison, you need to compare this with other guaranteed investments such as fixed annuities or CD’s, because the return on a return of premium policy is also guaranteed.  However, if you are an aggressive investor you can use a hypothetical rate of return for your analysis, assuming you would invest the difference in a non-guaranteed vehicle.

Keep in mind that if the policy owner dies at any time during the term period, simply buying traditional term coverage and investing the difference will always provide the greatest return, because the policy owner’s estate would receive the death benefit and can also distribute the invested cash.

One of the most common reasons people buy life insurance is for income replacement.  PacLife has a handy insurance calculator that you can use as a guide http://www.pacificlife.com/Channel/Educational+Information/Calculators/How+much+life+insurance+do+I+need.htm

Life insurance is nothing more than a contract with an insurance company that promises to pay a specified amount of money to your designated beneficiaries upon your death.  In exchange, you agree to make periodic payments to the insurance company called premiums.  How much your premiums will be depend on several factors such as your age, gender, smoking status, height and weight, health, lifestyle and the amount of life insurance.
