Still not allowed to give blood - 17:35
So I have been hearing rumours from friends recently that the rule that means
I am not allowed to give blood has recently been relaxed. Not due to my
diabetes, reading the
FAQ on
the donate blood site mentions that insulin controlled diabetics should
speak with them, however hints they probably will be able to.
The reason I (and also my Sister and Mother) are not allowed to give blood is
that we lived in England for all of 1993, which is between the 1980 to 1996
period they rule out due to the lack of a vCJD test.
(details
here). Which it appears is definitely still a restriction. Unfortunate
really.
