I rang up the blood donation hotline earlier with the intention of going to donate tomorrow, I told them I was type 2 and took medication, they said it was ok if I hadn't had complications, and if I didn't currently take insulin, and if my medication had been the same for 4 weeks. But they didn't ask exactly what I was taking though. Anyone know if I can donate if I take metformin + actos? I hope it will be ok, I have been too scared of needles before to go, but the last few times I had blood tests it was ok.
