Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk of infections, with the urinary tract being the most frequent site, and good diabetic control has been recommended as a means of decreasing this risk. Adult women with diabetes are at increased risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), especially recurrences. The identification of risk factors can help pinpoint modifiable factors amenable to a disease prevention strategy for recurrent UTI. The aim is to study the clinical, etiological profile, complications, and follow-up of UTI in T2D patients. Mean FBG and blood glucose PP reduced at follow-up from baseline in T2D patients with nonrecurrent UTI (102 patients) (P < 0.001), but HbA1c insignificantly (P = 0.729) changed from 10.34% ± 1.85% to 10.27% ± 1.03% at follow-up. eGFR increased insignificantly (P = 0.114) at follow-up. Renal function improved at follow-up in nonrecurrent UTI patients.
