Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have chronic UTI mostly due to diabetes and immunosuppressant drugs

Since bacteria always change their sensitivity pattern you have to get your urine culture done very frequently and change the antibiotics as per sensitivity report.

Please go ahead nad get it done now and start taking antibiotic as per report.

Ensure to drink more water.
