Do my sugar levels affect the suitability of my blood?

I asked the blood bank the very same question. They told me as long as my glucose had been under control for six months I was good to go. Then I dropped the bomb on the lady. I told her I was nearly 60, took blood pressure medication, cholesterol medication, as well as meds for my neuropothy and an aspirin everyday. I expected her to tell me I was unfit. Her response was one word, "SO". So based on my experience I would suggest you give it a try if you want to donate.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I don't see why not as in type two it is your pancreas that is giving up not your type of blood Diabetes is to do with the hormone insulin which is found/made in your body not in the blood stream. the person that you are most likely to give your blood to will produce its own insulin.
When you give blood they don't just take your Red Blood Cells to use they also take the Plasma and platelets, so even if they don't want to take your RBC ask about giving Platelets.
If in doubt though just go down to these blood donation clinics and they will answer your question in a lot more detail than i can.
Good Luck Hun!!!

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

check with NBS
Id expect them to refuse a donation if you are on any form of medication... if your diabetes is controlled by diet then its shoudn't be an issue

First three answerers are wrong. The rest are okay. Yes, you can donate blood provided your sugar is under control and you pass the rest of the qualifications.

You can donate, but it depends on which medication that you are on. Check with the blood bank to see if your meds are acceptable.
