Brief Answer:
This seems related to the diabetes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the image. This seems to have been a ruptured blood vessel just under the skin. This is common in diabetes and signals that the blood vessels are fragile. The most common cause of this is poorly controlled diabetes. any further medical attention at this time. The blood would be resorbed spontaneously and there is no need for If your numbers and A1C have not been great, please put in extra efforts to help you live longer and healthier.

Have you already had your yearly eye checks?

I wish you well.
