Hi! This morning I pricked myself with an Insulin syringe from a stage 3 Diabetic Patient and my  finger bleeds a bit. What will be the cause of this? Im very worried. Im 24 years old, 55 in height and 130lbs in the family of my mother they a a diabetic history.
Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Please do not worry thinking about diabetes transmission. Since diabetes is not a blood-borne disease, there is no chance of developing diabetes due to needle prick injury. 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 helps you. Wish you good health.
