Intake of a fatty meal before donating blood can lead to an increased level of plasma triglyceride concentration for several hours. This may cause either turbid and or “milky-white” appearance of their venous plasma samples. We, however, report a peculiar case about a male blood donor from India, whose plasma appeared to be “strawberry milky-white” in colour. On inquiry, he gave a history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus type-II. Further, this was affirmed by his high blood glucose concentration [nearly 326mg/dL] and HbA1c [13.7%] respectively. Moreover, his plasma triglyceride concentration was elevated up to 376mg/dL. His treatment was started at our hospital and the strawberry colour of his plasma, dramatically recovered to normal straw-colour after achieving a fairly good glycemic control with the insulin therapy.
