Is diabetes a critical illness?
My insurance policy has a list of critical illnesses, and I was checking if diabetes is included. Is diabetes generally considered a critical illness, or does it depend on the severity?

Yes, it is. Diabetes is often covered under critical illness insurance because of the severe long-term complications it can cause if not managed. It's a serious disease that requires constant attention and can affect major organs.

Yes, beta, it is a critical illness because it can affect your heart, eyes, kidneys, everything. But don't despair. If you take your medicines, eat properly, and walk daily, it can be kept under control. My brother has had it for thirty years and lives well.

Is it critical? If uncontrolled, it's a VIP pass to a whole host of other critical problems! So yeah, it's critical to manage it well, otherwise it opens doors to worse things. And trust me, you don't want those. Just try to keep it chill.
