hiya...is bleeding common with type 2 diabetes ..also my hubby tummy is very swollen on left side...also he does seem to be burping a lot...is all this common...please help..many thanks louise....
 
I'm not medically trained, but if I were you I'd get that checked out PDQ. It doesn't sound like anything to do with Diabetes, but as I say I'm no expert.
 
I would hget straight round to the doctor's. It may simply be haemorrhoids. As far as I know this is not a symptom of diabetes.
 
Forget about diabetes in this case - NHS advice here http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Rectal-Bleeding-Blood-in-Faeces.htm is clear: "There are many causes of rectal bleeding. The severity can vary from mild bleeding (common) to a severe life-threatening bleeding (uncommon). If the bleeding is heavy, or if you have melaena (black faeces due to a bleed from the stomach or duodenum) then see a doctor immediately or call an ambulance. However, often it is a mild bleed. In this situation, make an appointment with your doctor so that the cause can be found."

Hope you've phoned your GP / ambulance / A&E depending on severity - even if symptoms seem serious, it might be minor, so, while it's very difficult to put into practice, worrying won't help, action will.
 
See your GP ASAP, use the out of hours number, if necessary.

All the best
 
As he has other symtoms something as simple as piles is unlikely. So ring the GP now. However if it is severe (hard to judge) head for A&E as he may need stabilising/a transfusion. Do not delay!
 
Hi Louise can only agree with the others get him to the docs straight away or even a&e, I hope by now he us getting looked at x please let us know the latest x
