Thank you for asking on HCM

Based on your details, most likely diagnosis is urinary tract infection or kidney stone associated with urinary tract infection.

Urinary tract infection is very common in patients with diabetes, due to low immunity status and may be recurrent.


An urine culture and an abdominal ultrasound with confirm the diagnosis.

Kidney stones treatment depends on location of stone, measures, clinical signs etc, and needs to be consulted with an urologist.

For kidney stones treatment Lithotripsy or breaking the stones with extracorporal sound waves may be required.

Small stones can be treated conservatively:
- Drink at least one large glass of liquid every hour.
- Avoid foods that irritate the bladder: caffeine, alcohol, tomatoes, citrus,
and spicy foods.
- Drink cranberry juice to help fight bladder infections. If you dislike the taste of plain cranberry juice, mix it 1:1 with another juice, such as orange juice.

The antibiotic that I would prescribe for your urinary tract infection is Bactrim 960 mg one tablet twice daily for five days, and for the pain Pyridium 100mg three times daily for 1 to 2 days (this drug turns urine orange, but nothing to worry).

Kindly rate my answer as helpful.
