I have type 1 diabetes, and my sugars were high, thus causing another yeast infection (my third one this year). My symptoms include water retention, bloating, depression, and itchyness and irritation of the vagina. is this normal? my gyno gave me cream for my last one, which i have been using. besides controlling my sugars, i am trying the anti-candida diet. it is soooo hard and i’ve only been doing it for a day. what else would help?
im also on Femcon FE birth control, if that helps.

Hormonal medications such as the pill can sometimes cause sugars to be even higher in someone who is a Diabetic. Because this can occur this can then cause a yeast infection to occur.
One of the things I found to be of help in trying to prevent a yeast infection is taking acidophillous tablets. I buy mine at Wal-Mart.
I would recommend checking with your endocrinologist or Primary Care Physician (I mention these doctors because of the care for the Diabetes) as well to see what they say and if it’s ok to take the acidophillous tablets.
