[QUOTE="Charlotte1990, post: 969672, member: 198508"] Hiya, I was diagnosed T1 in April after having symptoms for at least two months before that. My hair started coming out a few weeks before I was diagnosed and carried on for about two months afterwards. It really freaked me out, I would say that I have lost over half of my hair. When I asked the consultant about it she said that it was almost certainly as a result of being so unwell leading up to my diagnosis and referred to it as telogen effluvium. I can't remember all the details, but basically she reassured me that because of the cycle of hair growth it would likely take 2-3 months after starting to feel better before my hair stopped falling out. She was exactly, right and I now have loads of new hair growing through! Hopefully things with you will follow a similar course :) [/QUOTE]
