Yeast Infection and Diabetes Questions to Ask Doctors

Take this list of questions about diabetes and yeast infections the next time you see your doctor.

Is my diabetes causing my yeast infection?
What are the guidelines for keeping my blood sugar levels in the controlled range
so I can help minimize future yeast infections?
Would I get faster relief from discomfort and irritation with an OTC (over-the-counter)
topical cream like MONISTAT^® or an oral prescription?
Would a MONISTAT^® 1-dose, 3-dose or 7-dose treatment be appropriate
for treating my yeast infection?
Do I need a different dosage or product since I'm diabetic?
If I get another yeast infection, is it all right to treat myself with an
OTC product such as MONISTAT^®, or do I need to call you first?
Will my treatment interact with any OTC or prescription medications
I'm taking for my diabetes?
Once I start using a treatment, how long will it take before I feel relief?
How long before I'm cured of my yeast infection? What are
my alternatives?
