Key Points

  • The study examines the relationship between glycemic control and the quality of blood products in Canadian donors with diabetes.
  • Analyzed blood product quality from donors with type 2 diabetes
  • Measured glycemic control in these donors
  • Compared results to typical blood donor standards
  • Quality of red blood cells (RCC) and platelets (PC) was modestly reduced in donors with diabetes
  • Differences in quality were not solely linked to glycemic control
  • No new deferral criteria are warranted based on these findings

Abstract

Many donors with diabetes have suboptimal glycemic control, and RCC and PC from donors with T2D have reduced quality. The observed effects are modest, likely not driven by glycemic control alone, and do not support additional deferral criteria for donors with diabetes.
