Lower genito-urinary problems are part of the polyneuropathy of diabetes. Cystopathy affects 40%-85% of diabetic patients, although less than half are symptomatic. We report on a 42-year-old patient who was not known to be diabetic, and who presented to the urologists with primary acute urinary retention. His underlaying disease was detected by a test for random blood glucose. More common causes were excluded with careful clinical and radiological examinations. He was managed with insulin and self-catheterization. Diabetes should be considered as a differential diagnosis in relatively young men who present with unexplained acute urinary retention.
