Am I Fit Enough To Donate Kidney?

I am a 57 year old healthy female diagnosed as a borderline diabetic this past December. I am not overweight, get moderate exercise, and do not each much sugar- refined or natural. This comes at a terrible time because I am beginning the testing to donate a kidney to my daughter. My kidney function is good, as the onset of the borderline condition is very recent. Is it possible I will still be able to donate a kidney to my daughter?
