Yeast infection of urinary tract is very rare( even though its more frequent in Diabetic patients than in other individuals but even then rare). Invasive yeast infection of urinary tract usually cause the individual to be very sick and diabetis being uncontrolled.

It would be helpful if you could elaborate in details about your urinary symptoms
