The kidney infection (in fact, ANY infection) WILL cause you blood sugars to be high, and THAT could have caused the sugar to spill into your urine,
This is NOT a problem — UNLESS it continues after the kidney infection is healed.
You doctor will do ANOTHER urine test before you are "released" as being "well",. IF the sugar STILL shows up then, you have other problems to look into.
Causes of Sugar in urine:The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Sugar in urine. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms.
Diabetes
Gestational diabetes
Cushing’s syndrome
Genetic
Fanconi’s syndrome
Chronic renal failure
Pregnancy
Lead toxicity
Normal Fasting Blood Sugar
A normal fasting blood sugar (which is also the blood sugar a normal person will see right before a meal) is:
83 mg/dl (4.6 mmol/L) or less.
Tin
Many normal people have fasting blood sugars in the mid and high 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/L) range.
Though most doctors will tell you any fasting blood sugar under 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/L) is "normal", there are several studies that suggest that testing with a fasting blood sugar in the mid 90 mg/dl (5 mmol/L) range often predicts diabetes that is diagnosed a decade later.
