Hi and welcome Sorry but are you saying you have been taking metformin even though you have not been diagnosed with diabetesHi, I'm brand new to this chat. I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I know I have diabetes. I be seen my blood work, my bun creatinine ratio is 40. I have all the symptoms to. I didn't get it naturally. I took mobic and keflex after a bunion removal. My gut couldn't handle it. I see doctor the end of the month. I lost forty percent of my hair with the antibiotics and INSAIDS. It stopped a few months later. It just started shedding again. I'm scared to lose more. I have fine hair naturally, but it was ok because I had alot of it. So I'm going to move out of California to where I used to live. But I can't leave until December. I don't want to show up after five years, half bald from metiform. Do you think five hundred mg a day would mess with it? Thankfully I don't have high blood pressure. I found out my liver is slightly enlarged, and my pee is foamy. From glucose, protein? I don't know. I'm so scard, and my current living situation is awful. That sure isn't helping. My roommate, landlord, is obsessed with me, total control freak. Tells his sister all my business. I don't want him to find out about this. Sorry, you got my whole mess dumped on you. I'm just trying to hang on to my hair until I can get situated. What do you think? 500 a day? To get started?
My urea is 27, my bun creatinine is 40. Everything else is normal except my platelets high 499.I lost a bit of hair at the beginning but I feel this wasn't due to Metformin, it was due to panicking and the stress of diagnosis. Stress comes out clearly in your post, if you do get a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes then this will not help your blood glucose levels and to be quite brutal - hair loss should not be a priority.
My hair grew back.
Edited to add.
May I ask what your blood test results were?
