Question
The child’s finger was accidentally stuck by the insulin needle that grandma uses for her diabetes, and there was bleeding. Is there anything to worry about?
Answer
Diabetes is not contagious. As long as grandma doesn’t have any infectious diseases, there’s no concern. Just squeeze out some blood and then disinfect the wound. There are many causes of pediatric diabetes. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, including gastrointestinal reduction and the development of good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and should avoid irritating and cold foods.
