Women with diabetes have higher levels of sugar in their tissue and tissue fluid. This can promote the reproduction of bacteria and fungi, which, in turn, can result in infections. The glycerin and glycol in water-based products can be used as a food source by candida albicans (pathogen for fungal infections). As such, we recommend using our silicone-based, preservative-free personal lubricants to prevent any risk of infections. This includes our pjur med PREMIUM, pjur med SOFT, pjur LIGHT or our pjur ORIGINAL.
