I get YIs about 3x a year. you "spill" sugar in your urine whenever your BG is at or above 160-180mg/dL - I don't know about you guys but this happens almost everyday for me, though it's relatively short lived. I typically get them the most after being sick. The virus/sickness/whatever jacks up my BGs and sure enough, a week after finally feeling better, I get hit with a YI.
Diflucan is like gold to me. I pop one of these pills (Rx only - my gyn calls it in for me) at the first sign of one, and I'm usually fine within a couple of days as long as I keep things very clean down there, wear cotton underwear, up the probiotics (for those who can't have dairy, anything fermented - sourkraut, kimchi, etc. - also has probiotics, and you can also take them in pill form), etc.
Also, just a note - if you require antibiotics for anything, up the probiotics prophylactically to protect you against the subsequent YI.
