What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 30 May 2017

Question: I have been on a high fiber diet for the past year. The fecal matter has been quite big. I just had a blood test and everything was ok except I've been diagnosed as pre-diabetic this past week . My question is with a history of having benign polyps, I noticed quite a lot of red blood when I went to the bathroom this morning. I had to wipe quite a lot before it stopped. The stool was not hard. Could this be hemmeroids?
