Donating Blood.

[Pookeyism 1,143]

I could nto donate before due to meds I was on for diabetes. I have not been on anything since 1/3/12. I have not been able to transfer over to solids but get at least 65 or go g of protien a day, and my Water needs are met.

I wonder if/when I could start donating blood again?

I donated regularly before surgery and twice afterwards. At my six month labs, my Iron stores were dangerously low and my PC said that I could not eat enough food to replace the iron. She said that if I wanted to continue to donate I would need to reduce my donations to twice a year and take an iron supplement every day.

Thanks fo rthe info. I think I will wait until I have one more sets of blood tests, just to be safe.
