Answer 4

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

I agree with SASSY
Diabetes causes your nutrition to go in weird ways sometimes your body will not use the correct nourishment thru no fault of our own and in some cases we over comp for it and in others we are scarded to death to eat "that" orange slice because our BS will go sky high.
Its not only hair loss but poor health in general. Know your diet will help alot but only your doc should be telling how and what to eat.

Answer 7

I agree, nutrition and certain vitamins in your system probably can have some impact if you are diabetic. Genetics are likely to play a larger role. My maternal grandfather had white bushy hair when he passed away, but my paternal grandfather and father lost all of theirs by their 60s and 70s. Mine started receding by my late 30s, unfortunately, but it appears to be pattern. Does yours seem to be falling out randomly all over (like in your comb/brush) or receding in the front or top back?

Something from Wikipedia:
"Medical conditions which correlate with androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness)

Androgenetic alopecia in men has been associated with several other medical conditions including coronary heart disease and enlargement of the prostate. Additionally, prostate cancer, disorders of insulin resistance (such as diabetes and obesity), and high blood pressure (hypertension) have been related to androgenetic alopecia. Notably, the link between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome is strongest in non-obese men.[1] Medically increasing DHT levels can exacerbate the balding process, but has not been shown to worsen metabolic syndrome indicating that androgen levels are not the link between the two conditions. In women, androgenetic alopecia is associated with an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is characterized by a hormonal imbalance that can lead to irregular menstruation, acne, excess body hair (hirsutism), and weight gain."
