[QUOTE="Hey_Man, post: 1187495, member: 308498"] Greetings, I am on the cusp of type 2 diabetes and my doctor just prescribed metformin as a hopeful preventative in addition to weight that I need to lose. So I checked online to see the side effects and while it's not listed as an official side effect like nausea/throwing up for example, I happen to come across a website where someone said that metformin caused their hair to thin out big time. I typed metformin and hair loss into Google and was shocked and scared at the explosion of results with people telling their horror stories. [URL='https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=off&q=metformin+hair+loss'][U]https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=off&q=metformin+hair+loss[/U][/URL] As a 45 year old, who has been lucky to still have really great hair, I am freaked out about the idea that metformin could be the thing to change that. I realize that many millions of people are on meformin and any such hair loss stories might be an almost negligible side effect percentage, so I wanted to hear what people here had to say Has anyone here had any hair thinning/hair loss due to metformin? My doctor did say that there are alternatives to metformin that don't have any claims of hair loss, so if it was a problem - he could put me on something else. But again, I would like to hear what people here have to say per your experience and what you think of the responses on Google. Thank you very much. HM [/QUOTE]
