Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

There could be various reason for this kind of nose bleeding.

1.Dry skin inside nose
2.local infection inside nose like recurrent cough,cold
3.Adenoids as you suspecting
4.Rise in blood pressure
5.Medications like ecosprin which you might be taking due to diabetes.

Please first of all get in touch with your family doctor and after his advise consult an E.N.T. surgeon for local examination.

As per the cause further treatment can be suggested.

Please do not ignore and consult your doctor.

I hope this helps.

Wishing you good health.
