Insurers and genetic tests

What if my insurer knew that I have a gene that predisposes me to diabetes? Will they cover me?
Theres a very interesting article today from switzerland:
“Insurers are to be granted access to genetic tests, but only in cases involving large life insurance policies. Parliament approved the measure on Wednesday as part of a series of proposals designed to tighten legislation on genetic testing for hereditary diseases.”
I wonder where this will go…
