Help and advice needed pls. T2 nearly 4 years on metformin and obligatory Statin. 3monthly hba1c bloods last Friday and my sugar is down, cholesterol up slightly. Fast track to monday peeing blood, feeling *****, excruciating pain hot and cold shakes. Urine test show glucose, protein,blood and ketones. WHY...antibiotics prescribed.

Thank you, the nurse didn't seem concerned. Lots to drink and rest was advised.
 
What is your BG? Glucose in urine means your BG was above 11 and that is too high.
Are you still in pain? Did they say why you had blood in your urine?
 
Stuff the ketones and the glucose. If there's blood in the urine then I'd be seriously concerned and want it checking out at A&E.
 
I'm on strong antibiotics for the water infection. BG 6.6, I'm trying so hard not to panic. Drinking lots of water and being extra vigilant with eating. See my D.nurse on Tuesday. Not passed any more clots/blood and pain is easing thanks. Bit scary tho!
