Is it dangerous?

[aayma]

Yesterday I was giving my FIL an insulin injection, after injecting him I accidentally poke my finger, He is nearly 80 and diabetic patient. Is it something I should worry about? I asked my friend she suggested that I should consult doctor anyway. what do u say?

diabetes is NOT contagious...it's NOT transmitted in that manner.

nope nothing to worry about ... you wont get diabetes just because you got pricked with the same needle ...

Most probably it is not dangerous, but I remember some girls in my sisters class poked themselves on another class fellows needle. They were asked to go to the ER for some test (for instance hep)
