Brief Answer:
No, Diabetes is not transferred
Detailed Answer:
Hi, i have gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Diabetes is not infused through needle prick.
But it is not advised to use same needles by different people because there are many more infections that can be transferred. So not advised. But Diabetes is never transferred in such a way.
Thank you
