Probably both: Diabetes can make you more susceptible to thrush, however, this may be exacerbated if you are also taking antibiotics for H.Pylori infection. It is best to keep your blood sugars under good control to avoid recurring thrush. Though thrush is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, it is best to avoid intercourse during this time, as you may be uncomfortable and partner may notice symptoms.
