I am a diabetic as well but never had this problem.

I say I am a diabetic because my PCP stressed to me last night that
"ONCE A DIABETIC ALWAYS A DIABETIC."

I am 15 months post op and my last bloodwork had a A1C of 6.0
Only 1 decimal away from " normal adult"

So Thats with no Meds since day of surgury- I was on 3 different ones PreOp - I feel pretty Damn Good about that.

I just wanted to mention this to give you hope that it will go away - but like  I said 
Dr's all say you will always be diabetic.

That's strange. My endo told me on Thursday "You are no longer diabetic."

By the time I left the hospital after surgery, I was off of my 4x a day insulin.  3 months after surgery my A1C was 5.4 I think.  The endo said it was perfect.  On Thursday my A1C was 4.1.  He said I am definitely not diabetic anymore and am actually getting close to being a little too low.  I'll take it!

(However, I was only diagnosed with diabetes in Jan and had surgery in Apr.  In Jan my A1C was 9.7!)

It might be a urinary tract infection or something else. So please get checked out asap.
I hope all is well with you.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

i was also diabetic pre-surgery.  however, the only two times i've ever had blood in my urine was due to a urinary tract infection and a kidney stone.

I think the point of once a diabetic, always a diabetic is that technically there is no cure for it YET. Although surgery has shown to significantly help it.

i perfectly understand the center for disease control not wanting to say that bypass surgery may "cure" your diabetes because when the window of opportunity elapses, everyone has the potential to fall off the proverbial wagon and return to their many of their former bad habits and risk having their blood sugar go nuts again.  however, as long as my blood sugar is below 100 daily and i'm not medicating myself, then i will be of the opinion that i am cured.  i view it more like cancer... it's there... it's in remission... but i may relapse.
