Why insurance companies won't cover diabetes



Most life insurance providers regard diabetes as a high-risk disease. Being diabetic means you are at higher risk of developing complications such as eye, kidney, heart and nerve damage. Additionally, diabetes increases the possibility of developing hypertension (high blood pressure), hypercholesterolaemia (high blood cholesterol), heart disease and strokes.

Insurers who do accept patients with diabetes are bound to increase their premiums significantly as the risk to insure them are above average. That’s why taking out life insurance at a young, healthy age can prove beneficial.

Mudlark River Lodge


Every June, Southern Right Whales stop by South African shores for a visit until November. During this period, they gather in the San Sebastian Bay; a safe haven for them to congregate with their young and have their own holiday in our waters. Here the whales breed and calve, providing some of the best whale watching in the world.

In addition to whales, the area provides visitors with a large array of animal life including dolphins, wild cats, birds and buck. Just a few km away is the Mudlark River Lodge located within the Lower Breede River Conservancy on the banks of the Breede River itself The lodge provides the best of the Breede; from comfortable accommodation to guided fishing trips, bird-watching and, of course, whale watching. With scores of satisfied customers, Mudlark River Lodge should be where you stay to explore this wonderfully secluded and tranquil part of South Africa.

Thai Prawn Soup Recipe


A soup is the staple of any winter menu; a delicious combination of ingredients blended together to make a delightfully warm meal on a cold night. One of our favourite recipes is a Thai prawn soup that combines subtle hints of coconut milk, lemon grass and spices into one remarkably flavoursome dish. The preparation involved is quick and easy – unbelievably so, as one would expect something this tasty to require hours of work.
