[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1805260, member: 211362"] I've just been on a total of 15 days of antibiotics (2 different courses) over the past 4 weeks. I've just finished the antibiotics yesterday and my sugar levels still haven't gone back to my usual, plus I've got a mild fever. ugh. I now have to wait a minimum of 72 hours to get a retest anyhow to see if the infection has gone or not. I go and pick up the pathology request on Tuesday. I'm finding having this bladder disease on top of diabetes is not working for me too well. I'm at risk from infection if my sugars are running high, I'm at risk of infection for using catheters (I'm supposed to use them at least twice daily), and I'm at risk of infection from retention the bladder disease causes if I don't use a catheter because stale urine breeds bacteria. Do you think I'm winning here? It's so frustrating. I've got an inkling I'm not out of the woods with the infection as yet going by my sugar levels and fever. I'm having to use a lot more insulin and it is still running on the high side. This is the problem with me too if I get one UTI, I seem to get a few more in quick succession then I have a long period where I don't have any but still have to get tested regularly because this disease has the exact same symptoms.
