Hello. Have you had a fasting blood sugar level and a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) test done? Repetitive yeast infection can be a sign of uncontrolled sugar level but not all the time. History of PCOS and gestational diabetes means you are at risk for diabetes though. The finger prick test you get is not standard testing for diabetes. I would advise to get the two tests done to be on the safe side. Talk to your doctor about it.
