[QUOTE="Tim55, post: 982143, member: 186079"] Hi Folks I found this interesting too - I used to have very thick hair but have noticed it thinning in the last few months - around the time of diagnosis in fact. More particularly, I used to have pretty strong nails - I struggled to cut my thumb nails sometimes - but now they break very easily. Both problems seem to have improved slightly since I got my FBG levels under control. I am on metformin, which I have recently reduced from 4 to 3 per day and take a multi vitamin, Benfotiammin (B1), Alpha Lipoic aid and methyl cobolamin (B12) supplements in an attempt to help with neuropathy in my fingers and feet. Far from causing problems, I found ALA and B12 particularly seemed to help with control, to the extent that I felt it sensible, after discussion with my DN, to reduce the metformin. [/QUOTE]
