Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor, Diabetes is not a disease which is transmitted by blood contact. Diabetes is due to decreased insulin in the body either due to resistance to the insulin and decreased insulin. So it is not transmitted by the contact with the blood. Regarding urinary tract infection it is also not known to transmit by contact with the blood. Accidental needle prick injuries are known to transmit hepatitis B and C along HIV. Thank you
