I was diagnosed with Type 2 last December, started with Metformin then, in February, was put on statins, upped Metformin to four a day and started with Rampiril as well. Eventally after good results with blood pressure right down, and blood sugar down to 42, I was able to go back to 2 x Metformin. I have also lost 3.5 stones in weight that I am surprised and delighted about. My cholesterol had been normal from the start so wasn't happy about statins however, during May and June I had a virus (very good for weight loss as no appetite) and blood tests showed liver blood enzymes were very high, had an ultra sound where nothing seemed untoward, apart from discovering I have had gallstones for years, and was told I could go back on statins but declined at that moment. It is up to me and would need another blood test after taking them again for a while if I decide to take them again.
Anyway, after rambling on about my diabetes story, I wondered if anyone has experienced thinning hair from the medication they take? My hair has been a little thinner for a few years, perhaps it was because I had diabetes without knowing as I had no symptoms at all. It was picked up from a well-woman appointment.
