For the first time in my life I have signed up and booked my first appt. to give blood. I worked all my adult life in infectious diseases, so wasn’t allowed. There was an appeal on TV this evening asking for more donors as stocks are running low. I did wonder if my diabetes would prevent me, but I went through all the questions and it seems I can. First appt I could go to in my area isn’t til November. I’m hoping there’s not anything not covered in the screening that’ll stop me donating on the day. Has anyone else with type 2 donated?
