Hello I just had a kidney transplant in may,the doctor called last week and told me I have a small uti. Would this cause my elevated glucose levels???

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The infection will raise your blood sugars and if you are having antibiotic treatment then some of these raise blood sugars too.

I hope it does not last long and be sure to see your Dr. if there is no improvement in a few days.

Take care,
