lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Diabetes if not well controlled or some times even with fairly well controlled glucose levels, can cause fungal infection leading to vaginitis. Only vaginal wash may not be beneficial. First and foremost is to achieve a strict blood glucose control with FBG < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. I am not aware how good glucose control you have as nothing is mentioned. Plus you may have to take an antifungal drug for some time. Plus looking at your weight and height I notice that with a BMI of 26.41 kgs /M2 you are overweight. That also adds to bad glucose control. In this communication we are supposed to provide only general guidelines, no prescriptions are allowed. So you will have to come in a private conversation for specific treatment advice. Thanks.
