Urologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
Your concern is understandable.
Bleeding in urine is abnormal. As an Urologist, let me advise you, to urgently have a check-up with your doctor, who will examine you and get your urine routine and culture tests and ultrasound scan of abdomen done.
Diabetes of 2 days duration, does not cause bleeding in urine.
Once source of bleeding is found, further treatment will be advised.
If you've any other doubts, you're welcome to contact me by name.
Wish you well.
