Can someone with diabetes donate blood? I've got an O negative blood type and would love to donate if I can. I'm on meds for thyroid, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and I'm also dealing with obesity, but all these things are managed and under control right now.

Empty Sac with Delayed Yolk Sac Development: Next Steps_ Given the initial empty sac at 8 weeks and the subsequent appearance of a 3.5mm yolk sac, the situation is uncertain. A yolk sac size of 3.5mm is smaller than expected for an 8-week pregnancy. _Possible Scenarios:_ 1. _Delayed embryonic development_: The embryo might be developing slower than expected. 2. _Miscarriage or failed pregnancy_: Unfortunately, this is also a possible outcome. _Recommended Actions:_ 1. _Wait for a few more days_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 7-10 days to reassess the pregnancy. 2. _Monitor hCG levels_: Track your human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels to ensure they're rising appropriately. 3. _Prepare for possible outcomes_: Understand that the pregnancy may not be viable, and be prepared for that possibility. Please consult your gynaecologist
