Re: HELP Donating Blood
you need volume fluid replacement for the blood volume they removed not sugar so drink some water afterwards take your own low carb snack if you think you will need one. I haven't yet needed a snack and I always joke with them asking where are those healthy snacks we are supposed to be eating? they usually agree and don't attempt to force any sugar stuff on me.by the book atkinseer

Re: HELP Donating Blood
I always make sure to drink my water both before and after giving blood. I don't ever eat the sugar stuff and am fine. I do take a diet pepsi with me in case but haven't had to use it. I always take a cheese snack with me also....
YEAH! It's a great thing you are doing!

The don't "require" you to drink sugary drinks ... they offer them to you. You can say, "no thanks, I'll be fine with water and my own snack".J.
