Its hard enough dealing with all the changes that I have had to make after finding out my sugar was at 600. I have been doing what I am suppose to do and my sugars are down to aprox 150. My question is I found out about 1 year ago and in that time 70 % of my hair has fallen out. Is there a connection here . Is there something I can take to stop this or a vitamine or anything or is this normal ?

I should have mentioned that I have no medical insurance. I also lost my job 4 months ago . They came up with this lame excuse but it was really because I was using my medcal allot and they could see that I would be using it for a long time. I know this is probably ilegal but hard to prove and they are a at will company meaning they can let you go when ever they want. In short I cant afford to see a doctor.

I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--
"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.
Just recently found this 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html , about diabetes diet. Click on the link, then click 'View Windows Media' to watch it.You'll be glad you saw it.

there IS an illness that is prone to hit diabetics that causes hair to fall out and for you to lose mass amounts of weight. What it is I cannot remember (sorry) if the hair isnt growing back go to the DR now. My fatherinlaw had this a few years back and was hospitalized for about 2 months. Don't let anything escalate. Anything like that much hair falling out you always need to see a dr. Also if this is a new diagnosis it may be from stress.

The hair falling out has nothing to do with the diabetes. This is a separate problem that you need to see your doctor about since it can be a sign of other problems like thyroid etc. See your doc and find out what is causing this.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

I think you should consult an authority on the subject! Maybe a dermatoligist.Or a hair replacement center may be able to help you.

your hair could be falling out due to a Thyroid inballance and this thyroid problem is related to Diabetes. My suggestion it to contact you diabetes psycian immediately and talk about this.
