What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?
Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

_Diabetic Patient's Eligibility for Blood Donation_ Generally, diabetic patients can donate blood, but with certain conditions: _Eligibility Criteria:_ 1. *Controlled diabetes*: Your diabetes must be well-controlled through medication or diet. 2. *Stable medication*: You should be on a stable dose of medication for at least 3-6 months. 3. *No complications*: You should not have any diabetes-related complications, such as kidney disease, nerve damage, or vision problems. _Additional Considerations:_ 1. *Thyroid medication*: This is usually not a concern for blood donation. 2. *Cholesterol and blood pressure medication*: These are typically not a concern if your conditions are well-controlled. 3. *Obesity*: Your body mass index (BMI) will be assessed to ensure it's within a safe range for blood donation. _Blood Group O-ve:_ As an O-ve individual, you have a universal donor type, making your blood highly valuable for transfusions. _Next Steps:_ 1. Consult your doctor to confirm your eligibility for blood donation. 2. Contact a local blood bank or donation center to discuss your specific situation and schedule a donation appointment. Remember, the blood bank or donation center will perform a thorough medical screening before allowing you to donate blood.
