If you take insulin, you are not eligible to donate. The rationale is that donating blood could interrupt your blood glucose control, and potentially lead to a hypoglycemic reaction in the clinic or on the way home.

If you manage your diabetes with lifestyle or diabetes pills, you may be eligible, depending on your overall health and if you meet the eligibility criteria listed below. Many people who have type 2 diabetes have blood pressure and heart problems, which would prevent them from donating.

In addition to what Mr.Gangadharan has replied, I may say, that the recipient also can not receive your blood that is filled with diabetes medicines, and they may interfere with his blood conditions even if he too is diabetes.
