Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 I don't think it has anything to do with diabetes, Janet...I'm 64 now and started losing hair at an alarming rate after menopause. and it's still happening. It's hormonal changes. Many of my women friends without diabetes are having the same experience. (However, PCOS and hypothyroidism can cause hair loss). Vicki << don't know if it is the weight loss or the diabetes or something else, but my hair is getting thin on top. I am 55 and don't want to have to wear a wig for the rest of my l ife.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 It can caused by diabetes also hormonal changes. A specialist showed me his book which mention diabetes can caused hairloss. Maybe you need to visit a hair specialist to discuss this, and get answer to all your questions Judith > Can anyone tell me if hair loss has ever been associated with diabetes? It is exactly a year since I was diagnosed and through diet and exercise I am controlling my bgs. I have lost 75 lbs now and don't know if it is the weight loss or the diabetes or something else, but my hair is getting thin on top. I am 55 and don't want to have to wear a wig for the rest of my l ife. > Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
