A member asked:
Can a kidney infection be a sign of the onset of diabetes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: However, any body can have kidney infection without having diabetes. If you have kidney infection, not urine infection, your doctor must have blood work on you and should be able to tell you.
