Nowadays, more and more people are affected by some type of diabetes, regardless of age or\ngender. The root cause of diabetes is a malfunctioning pancreas. The pancreas produces\ninsulin in our body, a hormone that helps the body to metabolise. Only with the help of\ninsulin can the body extract glucose from the blood, which is an essential source of energy\nfor cells. The liver also constantly produces glucose, which by itself can keep blood sugar\nlevels up and provide energy for the cell. However, the liver produces more sugar than it\nneeds. Normally, the presence of insulin reduces the liver's sugar production. Diabetics lack\nthis, which is why they have high blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n
Two types of diabetes are distinguished by their severity. In type 1 diabetes, the insulin-\nproducing cells are completely destroyed and insulin has to be replaced externally. In type 2\ndiabetics, the body produces insulin, just not enough.
\nFor them, the treatment involves a change of lifestyle, regular exercise and a diabetic diet.\nMedication may also be needed as a supplement.<\/p>\n
Blood glucose testing can quickly identify diabetics, but those who do not have regular blood\ntests may also have some telltale signs. These include frequent urination, unusual thirst and\nhunger, sudden weight loss and even hair loss.<\/p>\n
In diabetic patients, increased hair loss or thinning of the hairs may be due to inadequate\nblood supply. In diabetics, the walls of the blood vessels thicken and the arteries narrow. The\nblood cannot deliver sufficient oxygen to the cells, including the hair follicles. The low blood\nsupply can cause hair to become dull and lose its shine.<\/p>\n
If you notice the first signs of baldness, don't be shy to consult an expert, as there are many\npossible causes! Apart from diabetes, it can be a result of an inappropriate lifestyle, lack of\nexercise, stress or mental fatigue, or even serious organ problems. Unfortunately, there is no\nmedication for hereditary baldness. Hair lost in this way can only be regained through hair\ntransplantation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Our hair falls out every day due to natural replacement, it's just not always how much. Losing\n70 to 100 hairs a day is normal, but losing more than 150 hairs can be a sign of a disease,\neven hereditary baldness. Unfortunately, hair loss as a symptom can also occur in people with\ndiabetes.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[37,38],"class_list":["post-4326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hajhullas","tag-betegseg","tag-cukorbetegseg"],"yoast_head":"\n
