[QUOTE="cugila, post: 171708, member: 15325"] I'm afraid it's not quite so 'simples'........ Diabetic's are not excluded from giving blood simply because they have Diabetes. The UK Blood Services Standing Advisory Committee on Care and Selection of Donors has concluded that [b]blood donation is safe for people with Diabetes who manage their condition by taking tablets [u]and have no complications or other underlying medical conditions[/u].[/b] Always best to check with the Agency first by phoning the number Sue gave in her post. There are MANY other reasons why a Diabetic may not give blood, especially if there are other conditions. [b]It isn't just about Insulin.[/b] [/QUOTE]
