Hi, diabetes and vitiligo is not something which is transmitted through blood contamination. So there is no chances for you to get these, however you need to take precaution always when disposing off the injection needle. Since your mother is diabetic, may be genetically you are prone to develop diabetes in long run, not sure. Better to keep monitoring your blood sugar level.
