Travel Insurance

[Jacqs96]

Looking for worldwide travel insurance cover for T1D and cruises- what a minefield !!!
Any positive experiences out there ?

I have used AllClear travel insurance in the past. It is not cheap but it gives me peace of mind because it covers diabetes - the thing most likely to go wrong.
i assume it covers cruises but that’s not something I have needed to consider.
There is some sort of link up between AllClear and Diabetes UK https://www.diabetes.org.uk/how_we_help/financial_services/travel_insurance

We have been quoted by AllClear and it does seem to cover everything but was much dearer than other quotes, however I have been advised the "cruise" element substantially increases the cost.
Covering the diabetes element is the most important part so I think I will just pay up, we need to cover Hawaii as well as the cruise.
Cover is for my son T1D 24 years, he will soon be 26. He loves to travel, just thought any newbies reading this may take reassurance from the fact anything is possible.
