Will elevated blood glucose av =182 keep tinea cruris hanging around?

Yes: People with diabetes have more fungal infections than people with normal blood sugar. Yeast loves warm moist sweet places. Getting your sugars below 120 will improve your chance of getting rid of your tinea cruris, as will keeping the area dry & using anti-fungal powder. Creams don't help much as they keep the area moist, and it's hard to keep the groin in sunlight without indecent exposure!

Diagnosis???: Tinea cruris is not the same as yeast. It is a dermatophyte and is associated with tinea pedis ("athlete foot"). Creams can be very effective. If this is REALLY what you have you will also want to treat your feet. Prescription pills are often best. OTC terbinafine (Lamisil) and miconazole are 2 of several available. Better control of diabetes, desirable for other reasons anyway, will help a little
