Blood sugar control may determine UTI cure in diabetics
NCT ID NCT07188935
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 99 people with type 2 diabetes who had repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Researchers compared how well antibiotics worked in patients with good versus poor blood sugar control. They checked if the infection cleared after 14 days and if it returned within 30 days. The goal was to understand how diabetes management influences recovery from UTIs.
