Cl1ve said:
Hi . I'm a type-2 diabetic . Iv been on metformin and gliclazide for the past 3 months . My levels have come down from a high of 27 . Iv been on a lowish carb diet keeping to just under 200 . I'm now finding my levels are stable if not a bit low . So I think I will ask at my next appointment with my DN if I can come of the medication . Has anyone else be able to come of there medication and what was your diet plan
My medication at the moment is 2 x 500 mg of metformin and 40 mg of gliclazide

Hi @alan.trainor , welcome to the forum.

Metformin and gliclazide are not really known for causing UTIs.
High blood glucose is a very common cause for UTIs, as are medications ending in -flozin.

What medication have you been put on now, and does this work better for you?
