with a yeast infection?
GLORIA BACHMANN, MD: A diabetic woman, Lisa, can use all the same treatment options that a woman who does not have diabetes can use. That if she prefers oral, she can use oral. If she prefers a vaginal treatment, she can use a vaginal treatment. LISA CLARK: Do yeast infections in women take longer to treat in some cases? JOSEPH APUZZIO, MD: There is many therapies that one could use. One- day therapies, three-day therapies, seven-days or fourteen-days. And usually, patients who are diabetic need the longer therapy, not the shorter. I think one of the mistakes that I see is a patient who has diabetes given a one-day or a three-day therapy. It’s probably not going to be as effective as having a seven- or fourteen-day therapy. I think that’s very important.
