Chatelaine

Yeast infection is a type of fungal infection that is also known as candidiasis. The most common type is vaginal yeast infection, which affects 3 in 4 women. Since yeast feeds off sugar, women with diabetes are even more susceptible to vaginal yeast infections. High blood sugar levels can cause an abundance of yeast to grow, especially in the vaginal area, and may lead to a yeast infection. Thus, frequent infections may possibly indicate diabetes.
