I was trying to teach a pt how to use the blood sugar check machine and while trying ti get the little needle out I think I stuck myself but I did not feel anything. I only felt the needle "scratching" my glove but I am not sure if I got stick with the tiny needle.I did not bleed either so I don't know!! I am so scared, the pt is pregnant no Hx of any diseases but I am terrifying
Relax. If you had gloves on, there was no broken skin and the needle was clean there really isn't anything to worry about.

If you felt nothing, and there was no blood, then there was no stick.Even if there had been a stick, the lancet was clean. What could possibly be transmitted via a sterile lancet?

We, as per the TOS, cannot give medical advice. If the lancet was clean even if it stuck you...it is clean and there for no exposure. Please consult your employee health or your PCP.Thread closed.

The lancet had blood from the pt
