Yes, some people with type 2 diabetes might possibly donate stem cells. However, the eligibility depends on the type of stem-cell donation, donor’s overall health, rules of the registry or collection centre.
Donor undergoes detailed health assessment in case of blood-forming stem-cell donation, such as peripheral blood stem-cell donation. Type 2 diabetes itself does not automatically determine eligibility in every setting. Factors such as blood glucose control, medications, diabetes-related complications, cardiovascular health, kidney function, and general fitness may all be considered.
