Freaking out
So i've had this UTI for about a week now. i usually can beat it on my own but sometimes it won't go away so i went to this walk in clinic today and had a urine test done. sure enough, i do have an infection. i had a lot of problems with them as a kid and i still get them a few times a year. but they have gotten more stubborn the last few times. so todays urine test showed that i have high sugar in my urine too so i have to go back in a week to have another one to see if its still high. i've been researching it online and now i'm in a panic. it says it could mean diabetes; on my moms side there is a huge family history of it. or it could mean Chronic Kidney Disease, which considering all my past history of UTIs and Kidney infection, i'm freaking! so hopefully, in a week when i go back for another urine test, my sugar will be fine and it was just a fluke. Especially since i have no insurance!! postitive thoughts please!!!

Okay, first things first - never research a "possible" or "self-diagnosed" disease on the internet. Will absolutely freak anyone out! I'm sure you'll be fine. It's probably just elevated since you've had the infection for a while now. I have UTIs somewhat frequently too, and they're awful! Hope you get better soon!

Did you eat anything really sweet before your urine test? that can cause it to go all wonky sometimes.

UTI's suck!!! Sorry you are having to suffer. I am sure that the urine test was a flukey thing. A blood test will be much more definitive. The urine test could be affected by so many things--what you ate, what you drank--maybe even that your system is under stress. If you are borderline, your diet can really make a difference.
My Dr told me to ONLY go to WebMD to search things on the web. He said that everything else will just freak you out. Good Luck to you. Any way you can get in to the Dr sooner? It will put your mind at ease to know where you stand.
