AB-, which means I'm most likely screwed if I ever need a blood transfusion. Luckily my mom and sis have the same one.

Although there is not a 1:1 correspondence between diet & blood type, there is probably a statistical correlation as blood type & sugar sensitivity are both controlled by genes. But I'd rather forget the middleman (blood type) and just look at the cause (sugar & gluten) and effect (fat) on me.

Really? I'm AB+ which means I'm a universal recipient (can take blood from anyone). I'd think you'd only need to find a donor who was rh -, regardless of A or B factors?

acctually O- is the universal donor... They see us o-'s comming through the blood bank line and get all excited!

AB- is only bad if you have sergury and they have to type and cross match

I always just assumed I would be screwed because AB- is the rarest blood type (1/2-1% of the population, I think). Looking it up just now, it seems I can receive blood from any negative donor, but no positive donors. I can only donate blood to other AB's. It would be problematic if I ever needed an exact match or a plasma match, since it is the rarest type.
