Candida/Diabetes connection

from http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-complications/diabetes-and-yeast-infections.html

Thrush is more common in people with diabetes as high Sugar levels lead to better conditions for the yeast to grow.

A dry mouth coupled with a higher amount of glucose in the saliva can also make for favourable conditions for thrush.

High blood Sugar levels is one of the main causes of thrush and so is an weakened immune system, which is also common in people with diabetes.

Damaged or irritated skin also promotes the growth of thrush.

Smoking increases the chance of oral thrush and certain oral contraceptives may cause vaginal thrush.
