Travel Insurance for a Diabetic 70 year old

[Aly]

Hi there everyone. I just wondered whether anyone could recommend a Travel Insurance company which will cover my mother who will just have turned 70 when we travel to Orlando May 2006 and is Diabetic. I know a lot of companies won't cover anyone of that age - never mind being diabetic!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I got travel insurance for my dad who is 63 and also diabetic.
We used atlas direct (www.atlasdirect.net (http://www.atlasdirect.net)) and paid about 26.00.
We had to phone another place to get a medical number after declaring his medical condition but apart from that it was very straight forward.
