Diabetics Can Donate Blood



Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

My mother says that I cannot donate blood because I am diabetic, is that true?

Signed,

Want to help

Dear Want to help,

No, your mother is not correct. You can donate blood if you are diabetic taking insulin and in good health.

The American Red Cross website at www.redcross.org has more information and locations in your area where you can donate blood.
