Is hair loss a sign of diabetes?
My husband was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes, and he's also noticed significant hair thinning. Someone at our temple told him that hair loss can be a sign of diabetes. Is there any truth to this?

Honestly, between my late-night work shifts and high blood sugar, my hair is leaving me faster than my sleep is. Yes, high blood sugar affects your blood circulation, which means hair follicles don't get enough nutrition. Time to control those mid-night dessert cravings!
Look, poor blood circulation is a classic symptom of uncontrolled diabetes, and that directly causes hair thinning and slow hair growth. If you are seeing sudden hair loss along with feeling thirsty all the time, go get your HbA1c tested. Don't sit on it.
I went through this and it was so heartbreaking to see bunches of my hair on the floor. I felt so low and didn't realize it was actually my diabetes fluctuating wildly. Once I got my blood sugar under control with the doctor's help, the hair fall stopped, so please hang in there.
It can indeed be a sign, as diabetes puts a lot of physical stress on the body and damages blood vessels feeding the hair scalp. I always advise people to monitor their fasting sugar and thyroid levels together. Usually, stabilizing your lifestyle brings the hair back to its normal growth cycle.
Haan beta, sharir mein jab sugar badh jaati hai toh baal jhadne lagte hain. Hamare pados mein bhi ek behen ko yahi takleef thi. Tum bilkul pareshan mat ho, acche doctor ko dikhao aur thoda kaddoo ke beej khaya karo, fayda hoga.
