Hi,

It is possible you are a pre-diabetic and your sugar goes up when there is an infection. Alternately, sometimes reducing substances like vitamin C can cause false positive indication of sugar in urine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Geeta Sundar
