[QUOTE="Scimama, post: 1682689, member: 110645"] As a diet controlled T2 I regularly donate blood, but family members who are on insulin cant. My sister as told it was because donating blood can make it more difficult for insulin dependent diabetics to control their levels for few days after donation. I do know that it can affect my HbA1C if I have the test shortly after donating. However the rules on donating blood do change (now allow people with hemochromotosis to donate) so hopefully in the future the rules will change to allow well controlled T1 and insulin T2's to donate too.
