She knows shes got thrush because she looked it up on the net and has read other peopels Q&A from magazines - i told her to get checked out but she says if she bought an anti fungal cream from the chemist wouldnt that do the job? Thanks.

shes 16 now but had it since she was 11

Yes, a frequent yeast infection could be an indicator of Diabetes. But as for not treating it it can make one very uncomfortable and from the point of the discomfort and for how long she has had this she needs to be seen by a dr. She needs to tell her mom about this so that the dr can help her get this treated.

Please tell your friend that she really needs to see her dr and of course tell her mom first and foremost.
