Is it normal for a diabetes patient to feel constant vaginal itching?

No, that is not something normal. That tells us there is high sugar level in the blood, which lessens the acidity level in the vagina and all this causes that itching and this leads to increased risk of getting affected by some infection. You should see your doctor first and then see what steps to take.

Hi there,
I am not sure if this can be related. Diabetes can affect many parts of your body and your life but I never heard that it can cause problems like vaginal itching. Diabetes is problematic with weight gain so maybe this is the correlation with the diabetes and vaginal itch. You might have problems with vaginal itch because of the extra weight. In my opinion you should visit your doctor and try to get a prescription for some cream. Or if he can suggest a better solution. I think that you should try to work on the weight problem and try to lose as much possible. Your life will be much better and easier.

I hope that this helped a bit.

It is normal for you to experience consistent vaginal itching due to yeast infection when your sugars are not in check- the excess sugar in your blood is what the yeast feeds on causing it to multiply at a more rapid level than normal. The only solution to your problem is to manage your diabetes well by keeping your sugars at a normal level. Probiotics can also be a big help as they keep your good bacteria balanced, making it enough to overcome the bad bacteria/yeast growth.
