Diabetes

If you have diabetes, you are at a higher risk of contracting yeast infections. When your blood sugar is high, the yeast feeds on sugars like glycogen and glucose. The yeast then multiplies, causing a yeast infection. However, if you have a yeast infection, take this as a warning sign—it could mean that your diabetes is not under control at the moment.

We recommend:

Check your blood sugar and call your doctor right away. Review guidelines with him or her about keeping your blood sugar levels in the controlled range, which can help minimize future yeast infections.
Talking With Your Doctor About Diabetes and Yeast Infections

Learn about different MONISTAT® treatments to talk about with your doctor. Your doctor may recommend a longer dose of treatment to relieve and cure your yeast infections.
