Hair loss due to diabetes is known as alopecia areata. It can cause you to lose your hair on other body parts such as legs, arms, etc. When it grows back, it grows at a slower rate than normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.yfjvcoy7016u\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Diabetes_and_Hair_Loss\"><\/span>Understanding Diabetes and Hair Loss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you all know, diabetes can affect your immune system. It can weaken the hair follicles and slow down your hair growth. It also leads to patches of hair loss on different parts of your body. It can have the following effects on your hair-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Impaired hair growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A stop to the formation of new hair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hair growth is more than usual<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A diabetic person can suffer from hair loss mainly because of the following reasons- stress, high sugar levels and Alopecia Areata. &nbsp;Alopecia Areta affects around 3% of the diabetic population around the globe. There has been ongoing research to figure out the possible causes and treatment for this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/zAyQ-IVahFF6SjcOufwhxJDBkQ7U9U2rbdhESGHUKe6vgWjctXwtkA2DquxeEckl5-c0ZrsBH0u4ZGFNITSWrHPK57ETFcOdrWJO9bHnmojXbTdsQf5NAC5xg7ktWViy-IUnXnpjxJkg80I3m8A\" alt=\"diabetes hair loss\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.hfq9nl7k1bae\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alopecia_Areata_%E2%80%93_Treatment\"><\/span>Alopecia Areata &#8211; Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For treating the damaged hair follicles, the immune cells of these hair follicles are targeted to strengthen them and bring them back to their normal state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporary treatments include keeping a check on your stress levels as well as your sugar levels. In order to avoid stress, you can opt for ways such as practicing mindfulness exercises, yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, etc. You can also seek the support of your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to prevent this condition is to keep a check on your blood glucose levels and avoid the possible complications associated with blood sugar fluctuations. You should regularly monitor your sugar levels using a blood sugar monitor at regular intervals. You should make the required changes based on your sugar level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/diabetes-and-alopecia-areata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diabetes and Alopecia Areata<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with keeping a check on your sugar levels, it is imperative that you eat a healthy diet and have a regular workout regime.
