10 Diabetes Symptoms
Symptom #10: Yeast Infections
Studies2https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24012126,3https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24714993 have found that yeast infections are more common in people with diabetes. Yeats grow better when they have a good source of sugar. It is therefore possible that the higher levels of blood sugar in a person with diabetes create a more favourable environment for yeasts to thrive. Note that yeast infections are more common in women than men due to their anatomy. An overgrowth of yeasts leads to infections like Candida in the vaginal region.
Recurrent yeast infection is one more diabetes symptom. For this reason, if you get frequent yeast infections, you should consider going for a test to rule out diabetes.
