A member asked:
Is it possible for a vaginal or other female infection to bring about type 1 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: However, diabetics are more likely to have recurrent bouts of vaginal yeast infections as the yeast thrives in the high sugar environment of a poorly controlled diabetic.
