Then again, lab tests are sometimes flukes.  |
The culture is for all the other stuff they found, nitrates and i cant even remember what else there was like 8 or 9 things that showed up..I just dont understand why the glucose would be in there and what significance it has to a UTI??? I felt I was brushed off when i asked if it could possible be diabetes because she was more concerned about the other things.. I have a lot of UTI's and I dont have bad hygiene or anything and i know that UTI's could also be a sign of diabetes....
cause and effect...probably concerned for no reason
I guess just growing up and watching my dad give himself insulin shots every morning and he eventually died from complications has made me a little paranoid about getting it
