Hello,
There has been some bleeding in the area of nasopharynx in the back of your nose. It may occur with severe sneezing in which case it should have resolved by now. If it is persisting or recurring you should see an Ear Nose Throat specialist as it is from a lesion there. Diabetes is not a direct cause but uncontrolled diabetes increases the chances of infections.
Wish you good health.
