Diabetes is not contagious, even if you are bitten by a mosquito—so please do not worry. Maintain local skin cleanliness and hygiene, and follow a light, bland diet. After a mosquito bite, apply products such as Liu Shen Flower Dew (Liu Shen Huo Lu). It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, keep the affected skin area clean and hygienic, and apply Liu Shen Flower Dew or similar products after insect bites. Diabetes itself does not cause infection.
