Just because someone has diabetes or any other manageable condition it should not exclude them from travelling. If you are a diabetic and are planning on going abroad for a holiday or a trip then you need to make sure that you have the proper travel insurance for diabetics.
Most of the shelf insurance policies will not cover you for pre-existing conditions or any other non standard activities. The policy they offer you at your local travel agents will only cover the very basics and anything else will most likely not be covered. This matters because if you need to make a claim your insurer may well refuse it as any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with are not covered unless they are specifically mentioned when buying the insurance policy.
Whilst they may know all about holidays the sale representative at your local travel agents will most likely not be very knowledgeable about the travel insurance policies they are selling. Being very generic policies they are designed to cover the average holiday maker.
If your travel agent suggests you will be covered ask them to confirm it with their insurance department. If they do then offer you amended cover you can be sure it will most likely be very expensive and still may not provide you with the specific cover that you want. After all it is your holiday and you will want to be able to do what you want.
