The infection will raise your blood sugars and if you are having antibiotic treatment then some of these raise blood sugars too. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Urinary-tract-infection-adults/Pages/Introduction.aspx 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, CC.
