Hello I’m a 24 yo Male, I have had type 1 Diabetes for 22 years. Its in good control now my A1C was 6.4 last time it was checked about 6 months ago. My question is I have been noticing more then normal hair loss the last few months. Not in one area but all over, as of now I have no signs of a receding hair line or bald spot. Infect now I have a lot of hair, my hairdresser told me before the I have fine hair but a lot of it (lots of follicles). My Dad has lots of hair too. But now When I run my hand thru my hair ill see anywhere from 1-5 strands of hair in my hand. In the shower I counted (Yes I counted) about 40 -55 strands. Now I know there is a hair growth cycle and in the spring and fall you loss more hair. About 3 months ago I had my Insulin Pump Set wrong and for about a month my readings where really high a lot in the 350-400 range. I have fixed the problem since then , But could that a contributing factor to the hair loss? I have had no changes In medication or stress levels in the last year. I have been on a Diet where I Lost about 30lb but its been slow weight loss over a year or so… So could it be The hair growth cycle, Balding, Diet, Bad A1C? Or all the above? Hope you can give me an answer!
Thank you for your time
