Protecting Against Candida in Diabetes

“Diabetes & Candida — Protect Yourself” “If you have diabetes, here’s how to protect your feet and genital

area from Candida infections.” Keep sugar controlled. “High glucose feeds fungus — the lower

your sugar, the lower the infection risk.” Keep the area clean & dry.

“Moisture = fungus. Dry well between toes and in skin folds after bathing.” Check your feet

daily. “Look for redness, cracks, white patches, itching,

foul odor, or peeling.” See a doctor early. “Burning, itching,

redness, or discharge? Treat ASAP — don’t wait.”
