Hello,
Most urinary tract infections in diabetic patients are relatively asymptomatic. The presence of diabetes predisposes to much more severe infections, especially in patients with poor diabetic control, acute ketoacidosis, or diabetic complications such as nephropathy, vasculopathy and neuropathy. This asymptomatic infection can lead to severe kidney damage and cause renal failure.
Among the most striking effects of diabetes with regard to UTI appears to be the associated risk of infections progressing to complications or being due to unusual infecting organisms like non E coli bacteria,group B streptococci,candida albicans etc. Emphysematous cystitis and pyelonephritis, relatively rare infections, occur almost exclusively in diabetic patients . Other clinical manifestations that are unique or strongly associated with diabetes include abscess formation and renal papillary necrosis.
What to do...
Control your sugar tightly.
Antibiotics to be given according to the culture of urine
Must get CT scan of abdomen done.
You should be jointly managed by diabetologist and a nephrologist.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history and reports it seems that you are having problem in your kidney.
There are all chances of having enlarge prostate.
Consult Urologist and get investigated with ultra sound and other investigations.
Ok and bye.
