Hair for a
healthily person will grow about half an inch a month. All hair has a resting
phase. When someone has diabetes their hair follicles are slower and spend
longer in the resting phase. The hair won't replace its self as fast as it usually
does.
Diabetics have
poor circulation, causing wounds to heal much slower. Also circulatory problems
can affect the growth of your hair. When the natural growth cycle slows down it
causes the hair to become thin.
The immune
system of a diabetic is prone to infections. It is common to have infections on
the scalp. Diabetics have fungal diseases and infections directly in the hair
follicles.
Nutrition
can't be stressed enough, to help promote hair growth. Once the blood sugar
levels are under control by diet and medication, it should improve hair growth.
