[QUOTE="azure, post: 1003527, member: 39639"] Yes, it does seem that way. When I was recently diagnosed, I saw a stall recruiting blood donors in my local town and I asked the lady there why I wouldn't be able to give blood. She mentioned the insulin but also said that because no-one was quite sure what caused Type 1, people weren't happy about using blood from people with diabetes. I remember being quite upset about that as it made me feel 'tainted' somehow, but now I'm older I can see it's probably a sensible precaution. [/QUOTE]
