Diabetes and Hair Loss
Don’t Lose Your hair Because of Diabetes
The links between hair loss and diabetes are as follows:
1. Diabetes causes poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can affect the

When blood circulation is poor, the follicle is not producing a new strand as normal, the old strand dies and falls out, and there is no replacement hair. Further, strands tend to die and fall out more quickly when blood circulation to the head area is poor. Therefore, more hair falls out and is not replaced, creating much thinner hair.
2. Diabetics are more susceptible to skin conditions, and skin conditions on the scalp can cause hair loss. Both bacterial and fungal infections of the scalp can interrupt the normal growth process of hair.

4. Diabetes causes both physiological and psychological stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are direct factors in hair loss. Dehydration is a factor as well. When coupled with stress, it can be a killer for hair.
If you do have hair loss related to diabetes, here are some helpful suggestions:
1. Wait to see if the condition will right itself once you have been on your diabetes medication for some time. This may take a few months.
2. Keep your body hydrated. Eight glasses (8 0z. each) should be consumed daily, no matter what other liquids you consume.
