How many litres of blood do you have in your body and how many ml can you donate in your area? Then work out the % of blood left in your body, calculate the % reduction in HbA1c.
May be go to a blood donation centre and have a blood check and you may find the answer.

It may not make any difference. Talk to your doctor before deciding.
No. Diabetics are avised not to donate blood
Research published in 2012 demonstrated that in patients with metabolic syndrome, repeated blood donation is effective in reducing blood pressure, blood glucose, HbA1c, low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio, and heart rate.Links:
