Diabetes

Diabetes can affect hair growth due to poor blood circulation and hormonal imbalances.
High blood sugar levels may damage hair follicles, leading to slow growth or hair thinning.
Symptoms include sparse, brittle, or thinning hair on the scalp and sometimes body hair loss.
Peripheral neuropathy and reduced nutrient delivery to hair roots can worsen the condition.
Management focuses on blood sugar control, proper nutrition, hair care, and treatment of any underlying complications.
