When you have diabetes, due to unbalanced blood sugar levels, there can be some problems in blood circulation. Several bodies’ areas have a bad blood circulation. Thus, even tiny wounds, or bruises and skin infections (yeast, bacterial infections) have difficulties in healing.
But when these infections occur in hairy areas, the hair begins to fall in those areas. And your body retards in healing and re-growth of the lost hair. This results in a visibly hair loss.

Hi,
It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for this and then decide the cause and further plan of management.
A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.
Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), and antidepressants.
Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.
Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.
