Question about UTI, sugar in urine, and high blood pressure?

Margaret S asked:


I am a 21 year old female, who is active and normal weight. I recently went to the doctor because I recently had symptoms of a UTI (my third in the past year and 5th in the past 3 years). My doctor told me during the exam that I had high blood pressure and sugar in my urine. This is the second time I’ve been told that sugar was found in my urine, but the first for high blood pressure. My doctor recommended getting a fasting blood test done. I also checked my blood sugar again the next day and it was still high for someone my age (145/70). Other symptoms I have are fatigue and extreme thirst(even before the UTI I feel like I am always thirsty). My question is what other than diabetes could be causing these symptoms? I have been told that maybe the infection spread to my kidneys and was never treated, but that seems odd because I haven’t had extreme pain in my sides/back area.
I just realized I said checked my blood sugar, I meant blood pressure the next day.
