Does that mean the person who gets the blood will have it too? I know that they check for these things, but just pretend the tests didn't work that time or something.
Thanks.

Diabetes is not caused by a virus, bacteria, or any other pathogen. It is defined by the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin in accordance with the level of glucose in the blood. So it is not transmittable as there is nothing that transmits this disease from one person to the other. If someone got your pancreas, and you had diabetes, they would have it too. However, if they got any other part of you, they would be fine.
It is like if you had a bruise on your arm. If someone got your blood, they would not get the bruise

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/e8eir
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.

Donated blood shall not cause the donee a Diabetic, 'cause the donated blood can be neutralized and then given to the donee. The question arises weather the donor has enough blood to donate? Generally donor diabetics are week and anemic.
If any symptoms develop in the donee after giving him the blood of the diabetic, these are shortlived and temporary.

No. Diabetes is an metabolic disease. You can't give it to someone by donating blood. I'm diabetic and I'm a regular blood donor. Since I'm a "rare donor", the Red Cross calls me all the time.
Typically, donated blood is not screened for blood sugar. Diabetics CAN give blood, as long as they are in good control and the donation does not cause any adverse effects. Only once have I gotten sick after a donation.

I looked this up just the other day from the red cross site since my 17 yr old with diabetes wants to donate at school next week.
They said as long as she has never used animal insulin, and is over 110, she can donate.
They are worried about mad cow disease from animal insulin.
Hope that helped.

No never because diabetes is less or no production of insulin from pancreas and some of the symptoms appears in the blood

Diabetes is not contagious, you can not get it from another person. Diabetes is the inability of a persons body to either process sugars or produce insulin.

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is not contagious. You may be rejected because of the danger it may pose to give blood. Have a nice day. Cancer isn't contagious but AIDS is

No. Diabetes is not a bloodborne illness. It is not contagious. It is a metabolic disorder.
