Yeast infections can be rife in women with uncontrolled diabetes, because higher blood sugar feeds the yeast in the vagina. Many women don’t know they have diabetes or a pre-diabetic insulin-resistant state of body, so may be continually treating yeast infections that never seem to disappear.

It is worth considering getting reliable blood sugar testing if you suffer repeated yeast infections without resolution. Untreated diabetes is dangerous.
