With the introduction of CareShield Life, is there any impact for a diabetic person? And should he or she change to CareShield Life from ElderShield?

The answer to this is a bit ambiguious. Just like every other insurance, most likely will have to do a checkup before they decide to insure you.

Taken from MOH's website:

Can I join CareShield Life if I have pre-existing medical conditions and/or pre-existing mild/moderate disabilities?

You can join CareShield Life if you are not severely disabled (i.e. unable to perform 3 or more ADLs) when the scheme commences for existing cohorts (born in 1979 or earler) in 2021.

Details of the application process will be provided at a later date. Some applicants may need to undergo a disability assessment. Applicants will be informed if they need a disability assessment.
