@A DiabetesTeam Member it's caused by high blood sugar levels which end up in your urine

Our kidneys filter our blood and if our blood sugar is running high some of it will get filtered out

Sugar in our urine is "food" for infections - UTI and Yeast Infections are fed by those excess sugars

So just one more reason to try and keep our blood sugars in check
