Not a sugar level issue for hair loss by: Anonymous
I guess you can call me a guine pig on this, I found out I had diabetes and I decided to walk 30 minutes every day (except Friday and Saturdays)and I ate diet microwavable meals 3 times a day with an 8 oz. glass of milk, in between meals I would have 2 crackers with peanut butter on them, I did that for almost a year, I lost 80 pounds..My glucose leaves were low and I never went over 140...I had always had thick hair, Well, sometime during that year I was loosing hair, I didn't notice it right away cause I would put my hair up, So I have to say it's not the "sugar levels" that makes you loose your hair..At the same time I started taking metformin I also took simvanstatin a cholestrol lowering Medication, I called the FDA and he said that all statins can make you loose your hair due to it's effect of taking away the cholestol a vital part of what hair needs to grow.
