Hi,

I was wondering, those of you type II diabetics, if you had some hair loss- did it get any better when your diabetes got under control?

Too soon for me to tell, Liz, but I've been wondering the same thing. Now, genetically, I'm a fine hair/thin hair kind of girl to start with. But I did notice some more thinning over the past 5-6 years, and I'd sure love to see that reversed. If I start to notice a difference anytime in the near future, I'll surely post it on the forum.

Hey Liz, I noticed a lot of hair shedding right after I started using insulin. I started taking Vitamin E capsules to help it out along with prenatal vitamins. It took a few months but the hair shedding finally stopped.
