Dear Doctors, my mother is 50 years old. She has been suffering from a urine infection for the last two and a half months and she also has diabetes. Even after regular checkups, her sugar levels are not under control and they fluctuate daily. Because of this her urine infection has not recovered. Please suggest what to do in this case. She feels very tired all the time and can only walk with support. She was admitted to the hospital for two weeks but the urine infection is still not resolved. I am attaching her urine report for reference. Please guide us with the best way to manage these problems as I want my mother to be active again.

Urine infections may take longer to heal in diabetic patients. Controlling blood sugar is key for recovery. Along with medication, equal importance must be given to diet and regular exercise. Proper hydration and follow up are necessary. A diabetologist and urologist are recommended. Whole body health checkups once a year help detect complications early.
