From what I have heard, it depends on where you live. Australia for example *I believe* allows Type 1 diabetics to donate, but Canada does not.
The reason for the restriction is because it is " a risk to the donor". Basically, they don't have the resources to make sure that your blood sugar is kept in a safe range during and after your donation.
The main concern is low blood sugar, which can happen in anyone after a donation. This is why they provide cookies and juice afterwards to donors.
Some countries consider this an acceptable risk for a well-controlled and otherwise healthy Type 1 diabetic, others do not.
Contact your local Red Cross or Blood Services centre.

The answer to your question used to be NO! but that was when we only had animal insulins for control!!
Porcine insulin is the one they didn't want to have in the system. Because it caused some allergy problems with some people receiving the blood.
But now the answer is yes, as long as you haven't been in Europe within the past 10 years! and just the visiting or living in Europe will disqualify you from donating.
I did not know any of the blood services were buying blood from anyone!! I thought they had quit that!
Do call the blood donation center and ask for the qualifications. You will be required to fill out a questionaire before donating any blood or plasma. Did you know you can donate on your own behalf if you know you are to have surgery within a certain period of time?

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I'm a type two diabetic and used to donate. its alot harder cause they may deny you and if they accept you then they may want to take a urine sample before each one to be sure you don't have high sugar in your urine..
