the generally accepted half-life of an RBC is 90 days, meaning one-half of the population is turned over every 3 months. Individual RBCs may last 3 days or 120 days, depending on the circumstances. (just like people, some live a long time, some dont, but the average is about 70 years)

Blood cells live 120 days generally. This is how much it takes our body to replace all blood cells from our blood with new cells. But when they are damaged or poorly shaped (like sickle cells) they live much shorter. That's because our body tries to replace damaged cells with right ones.
When person with diabetes eats too much sugar, it can be measured on blood cells membrane. And because they live 120 days, this "high sugar" on blood cell membrane is measurable for 120 days after intake.

RBC’s have a short life span of about 120 days, however, as long as our myeloid tissue is working correctly we have more to replace the ones we loose.

By tagging with CR51, the normal is about 90 days. Actually, the life is longer about 5-6 months.
