Thanks so much for your reply. I will go out to day and buy perfectil, always had strong nails and they're no problem nor my skin just my hair, it's so longgggg. But falling out, I don't know if it's cos my sugars went up so high for so long and I didn't know, had complained to doctors for about year, had all the symptoms of diabetes but still. I maybe old but I certainly don't feel or look it I'm told (not being vain) but we woman dont want to lose our hair. Everyone says cut it off, never had short hair and don't want too, I really appreciate your help and certainly your jokes! Keep it up. Good health and bgs to you all Off shopping to boots now for perfectil!!!! Sorry forgot to say diabetic nurse phoned me last night said my thyroid and b vits and amemia blood test is ok so if my next hbac1 is ok I can try coming of metformin or gliclazide for 1 month to see if that's the problem but frightened to cos I've got my first eye op on December 1st.
