Symptom #6: Regular Yeast Infections
Yeasts are fairly common and all of us have some yeast living on and/or in our bodies somewhere. They are usually harmless to us, and can even be beneficial, but they can also sometimes grow out of control. From time to time, we might develop yeast infections and some people will get them more often than others.
Yeast feeds on sugars and with more sugar than usual flowing through the blood, there is more food for yeast to feast on. This can cause them to grow out of control, meaning people with type 1 diabetes are more likely to develop yeast infections.
