Feedback:
Unregulated blood sugars can result in alteration of the vaginal environment and promote the presence of glycogen in vaginal mucus, which supports the growth of microorganisms. Monitoring and controlling blood sugars would be key in a client with diabetes. Tub baths and participation in a healthy sex life are not associated with vaginitis. Frequent douching should be avoided.
