There is another sign of type 2 diabetes, according to endocrinologist Kevin Pantalone.
According to ToDay News Ufa, it is about the condition of the hair. The doctor notes that type 2 diabetes is a common condition. Such patients need to avoid an increase in blood sugar levels, otherwise the blood supply to vital organs is disrupted in the body, and hair begins to fall out.
Experts explain that hair has three growth phases. The first one is active and lasts for two years. During this period, their growth rate is 1-2 cm per month. This is followed by a resting phase of approximately 100 days. Then the third phase begins – at this time, part of the hair falls out, and this is the norm. With a lack of oxygen, nutrition of the hair follicles becomes difficult, the growth phases are disturbed, and the hair begins to fall out.
If diabetes is not controlled and treated, hair formation and growth will greatly slow down, or even stop altogether.
Kevin Pantalone also noted that excess blood sugar has a detrimental effect on other organs, such as the eyes, kidneys and nervous system. Therefore, if you begin to worry about hair loss, frequent trips to the toilet at night and dramatic weight loss, you should consult a doctor.
