A member asked:
Can a mild case of jock itch elevate blood sugar a few points in a diabetic male?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: No. Jock itch (fungal infection in groin) would have no systemic effect.

No: But you still want to treat it. OTC miconazole or clotrimazole are cheap, safe, and effective.
