美国红十字会11月为献血者免费做A1C检测：成功献血即可获糖尿病筛查结果
美国红十字会宣布，11月为全国糖尿病宣传月，该机构本月将再次为成功献血者提供免费A1C检测。A1C检测常用于筛查糖尿病前期与糖尿病；每位献血者每个历年可获得一份结果，献血前不必空腹。
红十字会同时呼吁各血型、尤其是O型血献血者预约捐血或血小板，以在节日出行高峰前保持血液供应稳定。献血可通过RedCrossBlood.org、电话1-800-RED CROSS（1-800-733-2767）或红十字会献血者App预约。
献血激励方面，10月19日至11月22日期间前来献血者可获最高20美元礼品卡：包括一张10美元Amazon礼品卡（以电邮送达），以及500点奖励积分，可通过献血者奖励计划兑换一张10美元电子礼品卡。
据红十字会公布，自2025年3月推出A1C检测以来，该机构已向130多万名献血者提供其A1C状况，其中25万多人被通知结果偏高。美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据显示，美国有870万人患有糖尿病而不自知。
按红十字会说明，大多数州17岁、体重至少110磅且总体健康状况良好者可献血，部分州16岁经父母同意亦可；登记时须出示献血卡、驾照或两份其他身份证明。

American Red Cross Offers Free A1C Testing to Blood Donors in November
The American Red Cross says that in November, National Diabetes Awareness Month, successful blood donations will once again come with free A1C testing, which is commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes. Donors receive one result per calendar year, and they should not fast before donating.
The Red Cross is urging donors of all blood types, especially type O, to give blood or platelets to keep the blood supply steady ahead of the holiday rush. Appointments can be made through RedCrossBlood.org, by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or through the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
As a thank-you, everyone who comes to give between October 19 and November 22 can receive up to $20 in gift cards: a $10 Amazon gift card by email, plus 500 bonus points that can be redeemed for a $10 e-gift card through Blood Donor Rewards.
According to the Red Cross, since it began offering A1C testing in March 2025, more than 1.3 million donors have received their A1C status, and more than 250,000 of them were notified that their result was high. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 8.7 million people in the United States have diabetes and do not know it.
Under Red Cross rules, people who are 17 years old in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate; a donor card, driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.
