Most people filling out a life insurance application have no idea what happens on the other side of it. Who’s reading it? What are they looking for? And how much do they already know before you answer a single question?

In this episode, Lisa and Eric pull back the curtain on the underwriting process. They walk through the main data sources underwriters use, including the MIB, prescription databases, lab work, and surprisingly, even driving records, and explain what each one actually tells a carrier about you.

Underwriters aren’t judging your lifestyle. They’re reading your data trail. This episode provides an inside scoop on what that actually looks like.

In this episode, Lisa and Eric break down how underwriters actually evaluate diabetes and pre-diabetes, what A1C numbers mean in an application, and why the difference between controlled and uncontrolled is the thing that really determines your options.

Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes do not automatically close the door. Control does.
