[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1682625"] I once emailed the blood donation organisation asking the same question: can I give blood if I have type 1 diabetes. They came back with the answer along the lines of "There is no reason why anyone with diabetes cannot give blood as long as your diabetes is not treated with insulin." So, yep, you can give blood as long as you are not treating your diabetes :banghead: Shame because, before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was too scared of needles to give blood but now it's second nature.
