Is it a thrush infection...they are exacerbated by BGs above what is considered "good"? Here in Australia we can purchase creams over the counter but you must keep up the treatment until you are absolutely positive the thrush has gone. I believe that taking antibiotics for another infection increases the likelihood you will get a thrush infection post the antibiotics. Antibiotics do not cure thrush as it is a yeast infection.

I have slight thrush too which is annoying Sad .. it definately feels more like an infection Sad my Bg levels are higher due to this infection and i know this is the case cause my Bg levels are normal until 2 weeks after the previous of antibiotics have finished .. also been to the docs several times and he eventually refered me to a urologist , still not heard from them yet :/.
