Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for urinary tract infection but it is more common in females. Besides foul odor urine, frequency and burning voiding are more common in both genders. You should drink a lot of water in the next couple days (at least 30% more). If all symptoms of urinary tract infection occur then you need to be treated. High glucose in the urine does not change the urine smell.

Go online to the American Diabetes association. Most can be controlled by feeding your roots correctly.
