Purpose of carby food after donating blood?

If I want to replace that with cheese squares and water, for example, will I suffer for it? We got hard boiled eggs, with biscuits and orange juice. From what I can gather, replacing fluids is probably more important. I have given blood while low-carbing and had no problems. I had a small LC snack beforehand, took my water bottle with me and sat there for a couple of minutes afterwards sipping that while fending off the sweet biscuits and juice they were offering, and then went back to work (which was just upstairs so it wasn't exactly a long walk!) I guess if you're normally prone to getting a bit woozy afterwards you might want to accept a barley sugar or diluted OJ or something, otherwise you should be just fine. Rachel (New Zealand) |
