I used to have yeast infections quite frequently. It was beyond frustrating and uncomfortable. I’ll just share what I experienced. I found that a certain antifungal cream (Terazol) helped me a lot and not much else, except Diflucan. I tried so many remedies……ugh! It’s still by prescription. I found i could avoid a bad bout if I used a little externally a couple times a week. Some of my worse flares were when I had sex every night. I was in college and that was important to me and my fiancé. I worked around it. I found that avoiding high carbs and sugar was helpful.

During those years, I was not diabetic either…..but that changed. I was eventually diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and went on insulin. With properly managed blood sugar, I no longer get yeast infections. I haven’t had one in many years…..even when I’ve been on large dose antibiotics.

Your recurring infections could be from something else, but I might explore a test that is now available that can predict type 1 diabetes before it becomes full blown. As a type one, it’s recommended that all my family members get screened. Just something to consider.

I hope you find help because I recall how uncomfortable and debilitating those infections can be.
