Hello. Im a 50 year old male, and have been diagnosed 5 years now, and have had a Trush problem that's going round my groin. I have tried all the creams and ointments, but it will not go away. Any thoughts would be most grateful.

Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
How good is your blood glucose control?
Sometimes high blood sugar can encourage thrush and fungal infections.

What @LittleGreyCat says. Thrush is typically a problem when you are running extended high blood glucose levels and disappears pretty quickly as you bring it back under control.

blood sugar control is the best way to get rid of it unfortunately...........
the creams and pills will help but your sugars need to be at reasonably normal levels for them to have a fighting chance....

I agree that you ned to check your blood sugar. Anything around more than 11 mmol will cause the kidneys to dump glucose. I had this problem shortly before diagnosis and the stupid GP didn't realise this is a very common symptom of diabetes and just prescribed a fungicide cream. Unfortunately the cream only partially works because the glucose causes the candida to keep coming back. Get the blood sugar down and I would expect the problem to disappear.
