Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Since diabetes is not a blood-borne disease, there is no chance of developing diabetes due to needle prick injury. So please do not worry about diabetes transmission. Diabetes is hormonal disorder mediated by impaired insulin action. In case of type 2 diabetes, the probability of developing diabetes increases to those who have positive family history. On the other hand, we should be careful when dealing with blood related events during injection, shaving etc. because blood-borne diseases like Hepatitis B, AIDS etc. may transmit through this from affected person. But you need not worry because you were just pricked and bleed a bit. So relax. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate in writing us. Take care.
