Can diabetes cause you hair to fall out? I have diabetes (newly diagnosed, but apparently I have had it fo a while and didn't know it according to my doctor) and my hair keeps falling out near the crown and in the back, causing thin spots.
Hello bisawani .
Another thing to possibly consider is Hypothyroidism with an [underactive thyroid]
This can/will cause hair thinning and shedding .
Plus thinner very dry skin too .
Maybe suggest this to your own GP/doctor ?
This is an autoimmune condition and 'is' linked with diabetes too .
Mine fell out enough to make a new wig out of it all :thumbdown:
Ended up on both thyroxine replacement therapy [ for rest of life]
And hair thickening/strengthening shampoo's too .
It has taken me 12months to get my very thin and dreadfully weak hair
back into a much better condition and appearance.
Hope this can help .
