You Have Diabetes
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder and the underlying cause of numerous maladies within the body. When blood glucose levels are elevated, the body attempts to eliminate excess glucose through urine. This creates an environment conducive to bacterial growth, which may contribute to infection. In addition, diabetics have a weakened immune system due to excessive blood sugar levels, making it difficult to fight off bacteria. You may have heard that excessive sugar consumption and the consumption of sugar-based products cause UTIs, but physicians have confirmed that this is not the case unless you have diabetes.
