Diabetes increases the risk of UTIs by two to three-fold compared to non-diabetic controls.1,2
What do we know from the evidence?
A large cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey compared the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the spinal cord injury population with that of a non-SCI population. They found a two-fold increase in the odds of type-2 diabetes in the spinal cord injury population.3
This means that unexplained occurrences of UTI may be related to undiagnosed diabetes.4
