hi
urinary tract infections and vaginal infections
these are two things that are very common in women
and infectians espeacially urine infections are common in diabetics
so yes
you will have a propensity for infection
however
keeping regular check on sugars and controlling them
keeping your private parts clean
and
taking plenty of fluids
will all help you avoid/prevent infection as far as possible
best of luck
