Is kidney infections a sign of being diabetic?

i have had 4 kidney infections in the past 2 months and the doctors have not yet find out y.....so i thought i would ask if diabetes could be the cause

maybe should also add that my sugar was 74 yesterday

Not necessarily - although diabetes does affect the whole body and the extremities such as the toes become prone to infection if there is a cut or sore on them, kidney infections and diabetes are not generally linked.

In fact, as a symptom of untreated diabetes is that you pass more urine than usual, if anything you could expect a reduced risk of kidney infection because increased urine flow tends to flush away the infection.

It's far more likely that you have some damage to your kidney, perhaps caused by a kidney stone and that it isn't healing properly - in other words you haven't had 4 infections but just one that hasn't fully been cured each time. As a home treatment (unless you have been advised otherwise by your doctor) I suggest drinking at about 2 litres of water per day to flush your kidneys clean.

And make sure that you complete any course of anti-biotics or other medication you may be given, even if your symptoms apparently go away as there maybe some small amount of residual infection left hanging around.

Maybe maybe not.
Have a blood sugar test done.

It doesn't hurt to ask for a test. It's not likely the cause though. If you're not getting answers from your doctor, go to see a naturopathic doctor.

not at all!!!

kidney infection, that must be pain.
Louise Hay would say two things:
1-Kidney problems:Criticism,disappointment,failur... like a little kid.
Say to yourself:Devine right action is always taking place in my life.Only good comes from each experience. It is safe to grow up.

2.Kidney stones: lumps of undissolved anger
say:I dissolve all past problems with ease.I chose to be peaceful and harmonious.

Kidney infections don't have anything to do with being Diabetic.
Your infection could begin with a bladder infection & travel to your kidneys, left untreated. If, you're are diabetic you kidneys no longer function as well. Google & research it to get a better understanding. Increase your water intake & make sure when you void your bladder is completely empty, this helps flush out bacteria. You might also have a structural abnormality.
If, these infections con't go see a specialist.
It's pretty serious to con't keep getting kidney infections,
this could possibly lead to diabetes.

Kidney infections are a possible result of diabetes, yes. If you are diabetic, you'll want to talk with your doctor about it.

No, no, no. Your kidneys can get screwed up as a result of diabetes, but that will happen way after you find out you have diabetes.
And besides, a blood sugar of 74 isn't that bad.

not i don't believe a kidney infection has anything to do with being a diabetic, but still get your blood sugar check 74 is kinda low.
