Does Go Digit - Inifnity Wallet Cover Diabetes?
Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes: How Coverage Differs
Diabetes is not a single condition. Type 1 and Type 2 carry very different insurance implications. Type 1 is rarer, more severe, and covered poorly by most plans.
Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes: Why the Distinction Matters for Insurance
- Type 1 needs insulin from diagnosis and brings higher hospitalisation risk. Most policies exclude it or impose long waiting periods.
- Type 2 is more common and often lifestyle-linked. Some plans cover it faster, particularly through add-ons or riders.
Why Declaring Diabetes as a PED Is Non-Negotiable
Declare diabetes as a Pre-Existing Disease (PED), or risk claim rejection.
Many buyers assume diabetes is not a PED. IRDAI rules are explicit: non-disclosure is grounds for claim denial or policy cancellation.
If you are diabetic, declare it accurately at purchase. Honest disclosure safeguards your claim and points you to plans built for your condition.
Why Hospitalisation Risk Outweighs Everything Else
Hospital bills, not routine insulin, are the real financial threat.
Insulin and daily management costs add up, but the largest financial exposure comes from hospital admissions tied to diabetes complications.
For Example:
- Diabetic foot ulcer surgery: ₹40,000–₹2,00,000
- ICU for ketoacidosis: ₹18,000–₹30,000 per day
Go Digit - Inifnity Wallet's hospitalisation limits and waiting periods can sharply change your out-of-pocket costs.

Common choices include Care Supreme, Aditya Birla Activ One Max, and a few others.
For Type 1, fast coverage is rare but does exist. HDFC ERGO Energy offers Day 1 coverage, one of the few plans that do.
