Q: I applied for Mega Life and Celtic Insurance and was declined because I am diabetic. What other options are available?
A: First of all, Celtic does not decline insurance applications. If you were not eligible then your application was withdrawn. It sounds like a minor detail, bit it has significant implications to you. We cannot speak for Mega Life, but most insurers follow a similar procedure because of the harsh treatment of those who have been declined.
