If you accidentally prick yourself with an insulin needle, wash the area with soap and water, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth, and monitor for signs of infection, but generally, there's minimal risk of harm or insulin absorption through a small prick.

If you have injected insuilin in your body go to a hospital nearby and get glucose drips along with monitoring of blood glucose, if insuilin did not enter your body not then no need to worry even if blood came relax.

Hello,
Do not panic. If you were just pricked and no insulin was injected, do not worry. If some insulin was injected, monitor your sugar level on a glucometer. If low, have something sweet, or a sweetened drink. Kindly find out if your mother has some viral infections . If yes, follow up for further management.
Next Steps
Do not panic. Wait and watch.
