Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can I donate blood if I have low blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Hypoglycemia is not a persistent state, but rather a symptom that recurs when blood sugar levels exceed a certain threshold. If you frequently experience hypoglycemia, it is not recommended to donate blood without payment. If hypoglycemia occurs again during the blood donation process, it is very difficult to correct. I have hypoglycemia, so donating blood without payment will never cause hypoglycemia. A small number of patients may experience dizziness again due to needle phobia or anemia. As long as you promptly replenish some food and energy, it can be resolved.
