Blood attracted by ants
Today I got a minor cut in my foot and some blood rolled down the ground but after sometime I noticed that my blood droplets caught ants.
Does that indicate I have diabetes?
No one in my family has diabetes

It could do. However, since we are living in the age of modern science, rather than guessing, please get a fasting blood sugar tested as a minimum. Consult a doctor if fasting is over 126.
