“Having some of the signs and symptoms of diabetes doesn’t mean you definitely have the condition, but you should always contact your GP, just to make sure,” said the charity.
“These symptoms occur because some or all of the glucose stays in the blood, and isn’t being used as fuel for energy.
“The body tries to reduce blood glucose levels by flushing the excess glucose out of the body in the urine.
“High levels of glucose being passed in the urine are a perfect breeding ground for the fungal infection which causes thrush.”
