[QUOTE="etmsreec, post: 299571, member: 22426"] Hi Simply, As your GP commented, your HbA1c results would suggest that you've got pretty good control. Fluconazole is MUCH better at getting rid of thrush than topical creams. For guys that suffer with phimosis (tight foreskin) it's really the ONLY way to deal with thrush! Repeated infections, as others have commented, may be because your partner is passing the infection back to you. Once you've done all the usual things (you and your partner both treated, avoiding tight clothing etc) you may end up being referred for circumcision - it's frowned on by many people now (seen as being mutilation of the genitals for some strange reason) but can be a way to eliminate repeated infections. I suffered with this for a long time before I was circumcised (as did a mate of mine who isn't diabetic) and I haven't suffered at all since. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
