I have been diabetic for several years and I have done the double red donation for Hoxworth. When I asked they said as long as you never had insulin from pork or beef products and your iron is high enough that you can donate the red cells. The blood sugar (glucose) is in the plasma not the red cells, and even so, they let diabetics donate whole blood products.

Although you donate all of your blood components, only the red cells are given to someone who doesn't have your exact blood type. B type whole blood will only be given to B. An AB recipient will only get red cells and no plasma so the antibodies in the plasma can not attack the antigens on the red blood cell surface.
