Any Have Problems With Candida Or Blood Sugar?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Castro Valley, CA

Im trying to figure out "what" is causing my mast cells to be triggered & keeping this inflammatory nightmare going. I dont smoke, not obese but i DO have chronic pancreatitis. I read that insulin resistancy can play into HS. Ive also had a problem with candida which keeps mast cells inflaming everything. So im curious 'if' my long time gimpy pancreas has caused a blood sugar problem thats causing candida and HS?

Thanks. I think the blood sugar is causing the candida. Which in turn keeps my mast cells triggered and causing constant inflammation. I want sure if anybody on here has candida issues as well?

If you're asking about the connection between Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and blood sugar issues, it's important to note that people with HS may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This could be due to ongoing inflammation and possibly unbalanced hormone levels, which can affect how insulin works in the body. Managing blood sugar is crucial if you have both HS and diabetes. Lifestyle changes and certain medications can help manage both conditions effectively. However, the context does not specifically mention Candida in relation to HS or diabetes. If you have concerns about Candida or other health issues, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
