Members discussing constant thrush overwhelmingly agreed that high blood sugar creates an ideal environment for yeast overgrowth, with many sharing that their thrush disappeared once their glucose levels were under control through diet changes, regular monitoring, and medication adjustments. Several members offered practical strategies that helped them manage symptoms, including using Diflucan or Canesten for treatment, soaking dentures nightly to prevent bacterial growth, eating live natural yogurt daily, and cutting out sugar and grain-based foods to starve the fungus. A recurring theme was the importance of checking blood sugar multiple times a day with a meter rather than waiting for periodic lab tests, as persistent thrush is often a sign that glucose levels remain too high.
