Fungi is that related to diabetes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yeast infection: Fungal infections are related to diabetes in that people with diabetes are more prone to fungal infections. Diabetes decreases the immune system and this makes people with diabetes more prone to fungal infections.

Yes: The immune system of people with diabetes tends to not work as well, so diabetics are more prone to infections of all kinds, including those from yeast and fungi.
