[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2340180, member: 401801"] Bacteria feast and multiply on the sugar in your urine, so it could well be that you do indeed have a UTI going on. You want to made your urine acidic rather than sweet, so not just to get your blood sugars under control, but also to combat this some (and if if has been a lingering infection, around for up to a week, forget home remedies and [I]get antibiotics from your GP[/I]!), cut the carbs. That does include pasta and whatever wholemeal stuff you're eating. Cut it out, starve the bacteria, get your blood sugars down in one go. And you might want to start on cranberry or D-mannose capsules, maybe some apple cider vinegar, to up the acidity of your urine. But again... Forget the home remedies if it's been going on for a while. A lasting UTI can go up to your kidneys and you don't want that happening, it'd make you very sick indeed. Okay? Also, don't rely on the hospital or the GP for a meter, they won't give a T2 one, usually. Too many of us, we'd bankrupt the NHS. Get your own, and use it well, it'll get you back on the road to feeling like a human being again. The bulk of us are basically left to our own devices. Your experience, sadly, doesn't stand alone. We're here though. You've already gotten the link to the Nutritional Thingy, so all that's left for me is to wish you the very best of luck, and I hope you feel better soon! Jo [/QUOTE]
