I’m in Ireland and only my diabetic meds are free as thrush is not a long term illness it’s not free it cost me €10 for 1 tablet, I was just curious to know if anyone else suffers from this.
Thanks for the advice guys x
Before I got my bg down the thrush was horrible. For me, a topical cream worked better than a pill, it's available over the counter where I live (I don't really understand your system of prescription fees).
Do you test your blood sugars after meals as well? Thrush goes together with diabetes so often because we start to pee glucose when we're above 10 or 11 mmol/l, and thrush loves glucose. If your after meal numbers are below 10 I'd expect the thrush to stay away in the near future.
If not, urge your doctor to look into other causes, all too often health problems are attributed to a pre-existing condition like diabetes.
Good luck, hope you'll be rid of it soon, thrush isn't fun at all!
