A member asked:
Help please! is diabetes contagious or sexually transmissible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at all: Diabetes is not contagious. It is determined by genetic background and overweight (for type 2). There are some data suggesting that type 1 diabetes may be triggered by viral infections (like influenza) but these would not cause diabetes in someone without the right genetic background.
