[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 355853, member: 56231"] That must take the prize as the most shockingly bad piece of advice I've ever heard! Firstly, nappy cream does NOT treat thrush. As others have said, there are various creams you can buy such as canestan. Also live yoghurt eaten and applied to the area. Remember that it can be passed back and forward between sexual partners. Avoid bubble baths, nylon underwear, and tight trousers. And as for the idea that its part of having diabetes and so you must just learn to manage it! Yes, it is a symptom of uncontrolled, untreated diabetes. When your blood sugars are so high that they spill into the urine (I think usually around 11mmol or over) it puts you at a very high risk of thrush because the yeast feed on the sugar. As soon as treatment and/or a low carb diet bring your sugar levels down closer to normal, then you will longer be at risk of thrush (or no more than anybody else, anyway). And if your GP is saying that levels of 11mmol+ are just "part of diabetes", then they should be ashamed of themselves.
