What Causes Blood In Urine To A Diabetic?
I have had type I diabetes for 30 years and the doctor said I now need to go to a specialist because I keep showing blood in my urine. I have made an appt but can't get in for a few more weeks. I now am having pain on my right side and back. This can cause bouts of nausea as well. What can it be?
