Back to question Hypoglycaemia – I have been told I am hypoglycaemic can I donate?
Hypoglycaemia is a term that indicates low blood sugar. There are many reasons for low blood sugar such as can occur with the treatment of diabetes. If you have symptoms of hypoglycaemia that is not related to diabetes or other serious illness, you can donate provided that you have eaten properly within 2 hours prior to donating. As with all donors, you should also drink plenty of fluids both before and after donation.
