I Was at my hairdresser today and complained that I find many hairs on my pillow lately and that my hair appears very thin at the front.My hairdresser told me that this is Not uncommon for diabetics. She said it has to do with the nerve endings. Has anyone else ever heard of this??? I never did.

My hairdresser told me the same thing. I mentioned it to my Doctor and he sent me to the lab for a thyroid blood test. The test indicated that I needed thyroid medicine. About 6 months after starting the thyroid medicine my hair seems to be growing back in a little more. It sure isn't like when I was 35 but it isn't quite as thin as it used to be. My hair is very fine and thin now, although when I was young I had very thick hair. Maybe that is another thing I can blame on the big "D" ??
