Hi fay44. I was diagnosed last June type 2 with hba1c of 51, managed to lose nearly two stone and my last 3 hba1c results have been 38, so quite pleased with myself thinking I can manage this, (except the last couple of weeks really struggling to leave the carbs alone - but that's another issue). I knew my hair was thinning a little bit on top but put it down to putting it up a lot in a clip when I was younger, also my mum colours it for me and has said on several occasions its thinning a bit. I was in complete denial as I am always known by everyone has 'her with all the hair' which like you is or was shall I say thick and curly. This last week or say the truth has hit home and my hair has probably halved on the top part of my scalp and the forehead hairline. I have just spent a couple of days in tears and feel sick about it, and also googled like mad in the hope it is not permanent. I am on 3 x 500mg of Metformin. Is it the medication, which I am now thinking of stopping because of this or is it the uncontrolled blood sugar Levels before I was diagnosed or is it the change in diet and the weight loss (Which was very gradual stone and half in 8 months) or is it menopause? Feel so desperate now and hope signing up to this website will help me feel I am not alone,
