Hi,
Your mother is more likely to get urine infection because of her diabetes.
It can be a fresh infection or inadequately treated previous infection only.
Its better if she gets sonography of her abdomen done so as to rule out other causes for repeated infection viz. Kidney stones.
I hope it helps.
