[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1046445, member: 211362"] The tablet won't really affect your blood sugar, but the infection sure would. I have had a lot of thrush over the years and one thing I will say is that if the OTC meds don't work, see your doc to get a pathology test done. Apparently because we're diabetics we're prone to the candida glabrata strain and most OTC meds are designed to treat the candida albican strain of yeast. The candida glabrata strain has limited treatment options which are nystatin and boric acid. There's some info for you if you ever notice recurring infection in future, get it checked out asap. I've had a hard time in the past for this reason because I was using the wrong treatment. Also my docs told me candida glabrata strain is only found in immune compromised people and is still listed on the rare diseases listing. Great. lol. I hope your infection clears quick for you. I'm sure as you improve your sugar control it will help immensely too. [/QUOTE]
