Effects may vary from person to person. Fluconazole is long acting while itraconazole needs to be consumed daily. Both itraconazole and fluconazole can affect the metabolism of other drugs and decrease their effects. I would like to know what medicines you are taking for diabetes to be able to advice if it will be having any effects or not. Also if the lesions are small you don't need to think much about it and you can take itraconazole but if lesions are large I may need to know about all the medicine interactions.
