Donate Blood for Diabetes Research and Get Paid

Managing diabetes involves continuous care and significant lifestyle adjustments. Donating blood, plasma, or white blood cells not only supports the improvement of treatment strategies but is also critical for the development of effective diagnostic testing. Your contribution supports the scientific community in making significant advancements in diabetes care.

“Severe” diabetes is determined by a patient’s hemoglobin A1c level, a three-month marker of blood glucose levels. Participating studies will indicate appropriate A1c levels needed for qualification although all patients should adhere to ADA guidelines of less than 7.0% A1c for optimal health and reduced risk of future complications.

Donor requirements for participation:

• Your A1c level is 8.0 or greater.
• You must be clinically diagnosed by a medical professional. Confirmation of the diagnosis and/or treatment must be verified with your physician.
• Be pre-screened to determine eligibility.
• You’re willing to donate whole blood, plasma or white blood cells through the apheresis process.
• You must have a photo ID and be able to provide your social security number or proof of citizenship.
• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You must weight at least 110 lbs.
• You must disclose if you have ever been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and/or HIV.
