Life insurance in Canada?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a life insurance company that might insure me even if it is for a smaller amount with a higher premium?

( I am obese, and I have diabetes Type 2)

Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'll do the homework if all you have is a Company name.

Thank you

Tyler

Tyler,

Phone a broker that deals with all the companies someone like Money Concepts, their allegiance is to the deal rather than specific companies and they can get you quotes on a variety of types and coverages etc.

Good luck it all depends on your overall health expect to pay more as an obese person though.

quick update: I'm currently coresponding with an insurance broker that the Canadian Diabetes Association has refered me to. I hope to find out more in the coming weeks.

I wonder if my life insurance premium would be reduced, now that I've lost weight? Any thoughts?

Its worth a try. My broker found me a plan (high premium!) and told me to call him back when I have lost weight to get a lower premium.

I've actually gained weight since then, but once I have my band and have lost weight I will call him to redo my insurance.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
