Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your understand your concern.
Fungal infections is quite common in people who are diabetic. There is no need to worried about it much as fungal infection can be treated by medications and prevented with proper control of blood glucose.
It would be ideal to get your partner also treated simultaneously to prevent recurrence of infection. Kindly follow the advise as given by your doctor properly.
Keep your blood glucose under control by means of proper diet, regular exercise and timely medications. Also, get your blood checked regularly once in 2 to 3 months to know about the control of blood glucose.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
