One of my close friends who is diabetic has started to lose his hair and he thinks that the hair loss might be related to his diabetes. If you don’t know anything about Diabetes, you’re in the same boat as most of the people that I’ve talked to about this issue. Diabetes is a disease related to hormones and can cause thinning of the hair or hair loss. Many people don’t know that losing hair can be caused by diabetes. Just on a side note though, although hair loss can be caused by diabetes, it is not that common. For people with diseases or other health issues, it is always best practice to take extra precautions when dealing with your hair. Diabetes often goes unnoticed and undetected in older men, and unless it is caught and controlled at an early stage, it can cause issues with hair loss, among a whole slew of other problems.

One of the reasons that hair loss can be an issue with diabetics of older age is because uncontrolled diabetes can cause reduced blood flow. If the blood flow is reduced in the scalp and hair follicles, this will cause the growth to slow or even come to a stop.

This was meant to keep everyone who might be interested in diabetes and hair loss informed.
