They told me I could live like a normal person. They lied.

[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1109983, member: 12578"] Even my non-diabetic husband can't donate in France as he lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 .(because you just might have been affected by BSE aka mad cow disease) So if you lived in the UK as a baby you could just be affected by that in any case. [I]Le donneur est définitivement contre-indiqué s’il a séjourné plus d’un an en Grande-Bretagne, entre 1980 et 1996. Cette mesure vise à écarter tout risque de transmission de l'encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine ou maladie dite de la vache folle .[/I]There are actually quite a lot of other people who can't donate for one reason or another [URL]https://www.dondusang.net/rewrite/article/2436/dons-de-sang/les-contre-indications-au-don-de-sang/les-principales-conditions-a-respecter-pour-un-don-de-sang.htm?idRubrique=980[/URL] [I][/I] As said above T1s can and do donate in the US though I think the same rule about living in Britain during that period may apply there also. I think that both the French rules and the UK ones against T1s donating are supposed to protect our health (fear of you having a hypo?) rather than any danger from the blood itself. It is no longer forbidden for people who take insulin to fly commercial aircraft, though I suspect it would be very hard to breakthrough the barriers (not just diabetes) [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/About_us/News_Landing_Page/Pilots-with-diabetes-allowed-to-fly-commercial-aircraft/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
