You’re at a higher risk of UTI’s
Increased levels of sugar in your urine can maximize your chances of developing urinary tract and yeast infections; it’s basically the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
A recent study published in the Journal of Diabetes Complications highlighted the fact that type 2 diabetes patients are more prone to develop urinary tract infections when compared to those who don’t deal with this condition.
In fact, data shows that a person who has diabetes is twice as likely to develop a urinary tract infection. The worst part?
Recurrent infections are pretty common. So, as soon as you experience pain when urinating or a bad smell, contact your doctor… you could have type 2 diabetes without even realizing it.
