Core Tip	The global health burden of both diabetes and Candida spp. infections is on the rise, and these two clinical entities can have a compounding effect on the development of different urogenital diseases and syndromes. Pathophysiological changes observed in diabetes mellitus can predispose individuals to Candida colonization, increased virulence of this fungus, and subsequent infection. Diabetic females are more prone to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis that can endanger the pregnancy, while diabetic males have higher rates of balanitis/balanoposthitis. In both females and males, there is an increased risk of candiduria and urinary tract infections, with complications such as emphysematous cystitis.
