Can diabetes be transmitted from an accidental prick from a needle of a diabetic 24 hours after last use?

Question:

Answers:
No.
Diabetes is not a blood borne disease.
It is a condition where one's body can not produce appropriate amount of insulin or can not utilize the insulin it does produce in order to control the blood sugar. This condition is not communicable. It is simply the body's inability to control blood sugar related to conditions within that specific body.
There are other blood borne pathogens like HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, bacterial infections and so forth, that can be transmitted via needle sticks, so this would definitely be a concern if this happened to you.

NO..
Diabetes is not something that you can catch.
