Blood Donation May Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
The excess iron is associated with poorer metabolic control of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the Biomedical Research Center in Red-Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition has shown that blood donation could prevent this condition.
Blood donation is a safe mechanism for expelling human body iron could prevent type 2 diabetes. This is one of the prominent findings of the studies developed in the Biomedical Research Center in Red-Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (Ciberobn) have shown that this strategy helps to control the disease.
The research is the section of Endocrinology, Hospital Josep Trueta, Gerona, Spain, directed by José Manuel Fernández-Real. The results indicate that routinely donate blood leads to an improvement in insulin resistance and, consequently, could prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Scientists have found that blood samples in a controlled manner can balance the levels of iron absorbed by the body and prevent oxidation of tissues. They found that excess iron is associated with poorer metabolic control of type 2 diabetes.
