Has any ever heard that chronic yeast infections can be a precusor to diabetes?


I was reading something that mentioned that and wanted to know if there is any truth to it.

Yes, that is true. Yeast thrive on sugar in the body, so when there's high sugar levels diabetes can develop. First it starts out as insulin reistance, where fasting blood sugars are in the high 90's and low 100's, not quite diabetes but borderline. Also insulin is being produced at high levels and the body gets mixed signals and doesn't get rid of the sugar that well.

When I started to get yeast infectins (never had them before) and a yeast rash on my back I got a fasting glucose, insulin, and A1c. It showed I had insulin resistance. I'm on Metformin ER now and that has helped. Even though I reduce sugars now, I still try to kill off yeast by taking a acidophilus supplement each day. No more yeast iinfections or rshes.
The result of diabetes
Yes, this is true. It is not necessarily a precursor, but a SIGN that you might have diabetes.

High sugar levels cause yeast to grow.

Sometimes, people with Type 2 diabetes find out they have diabetes because they have many yeast infections.
Diabetics are prone to infections. So it is easy for a diabetic to have chronic yeast infections.
