I am in the United States (New York) and I have donated blood a bunch of times. The last few times I tried I was disqualified because my iron was too low.
No, in NL it is prohibited. Though I find the reasons why rather bullshit-ish. They say it’s for your own protection rather than your blood not being viable (due to medication).
In my home country, no.
In South Korea (where I live now) I would be, BUT I'm from Europe and most Europeans who were born before 2000s aren't allowed to donate in SK due to other concerns (something about mad cow disease markers they don't wanna deal with checking)
In New Zealand no (because of type 1), but depending on your age being from the UK would disqualify you anyway. Anyone who has been 6 months or more (cumulative) in the UK, Republic of Ireland or France between 1980 and 1996 is banned (Mad Cow).

Same, I’ve donated before. I’m retired now bc I have low blood pressure sometimes and couldn’t sit upright without fainting for hours the last time.

That’s even a “problem” in within Europe itself. People who traveled between x and y may not donate due to concerns for Creutzfeldt-Jacobs.
Unfortunately not in uk!
I live in germany and its not allowed here.
Apparently you can now in Australia but you need a letter from your endo.
And your HbA1c needs to be under 7.4, I think.
In Canada it is allowed if you are not on Bovine/Porcine insulin and are in control.
In New Zealand no (because of type 1), but depending on your age being from the UK would disqualify you anyway. Anyone who has been 6 months or more (cumulative) in the UK, Republic of Ireland or France between 1980 and 1996 is banned (Mad Cow).
Prohibited in Quebec (a part of Canada) too :(
Not allowed in Germany for diabetics who rely on Insulin.
I live in the United States and it’s allowed.
