Hi SusieQ,
I did experience hair loss when I started taking insulin at age 13; however, it was in 1977 and I was injecting Lente insulin, so it was a while ago! My doctor said he didn't know why my hair was falling out, but thought it might be my body's way of dealing with the stresses of diagnosis. I didn't lose all of my hair, but it thinned out quite a bit. After a few months it grew back.
