Just a little more to add...
Yes, diabetes, especially uncontrolled does make a lovely breeding ground for yeast and other bacteria. If I have a little thrush, or a little yeast, and I have one day where I don't have really good blood sugar control, guaranteed the yeast will end up going crazy and making me miserable. It is yicky.
For some reason, baking bread popped in my head... don't you add sugar to make the yeast grow when you make bread? I am not much of a baker, but I am remembering something from childhood. Not sure if it is the same thing, but it is just a thought. I think salt kills the yeast when you bake bread, in which if I were on the right track, we would never get yeast infections.... hmmmm....
