Acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections and subsequent type 2 diabetes diagnosis in women: a national cohort study including primary healthcare data.

Purpose: To examine the association between uncomplicated urinary tract infections and subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis in women. Materials and methods: We included 1,840,044 women without previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) or redeemed antidiabetic drugs. Results and conclusions: During the 12-year study period, women with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (cystitis and pyelonephritis), diagnosed within two years before T2D, did not have higher subsequent risks of T2D compared to those without urinary tract infections.
