Hello, I am type 1 diabetic and for a couple of weeks I have the highest glucose measurements normal.
Has agreed that I am starting to take finer (a hair medication).

I have spoken with the doctor, I have reread the prospect and I have searched online, but I can't find anything that indicates that the Finasteride can be causing this climb.

Do you have any data on this topic? Is it a coincidence?

Greetings and thank you very much.

Just out of curiosity, I have looked at the prospect and I have seen Q Finasteride, specifically decreases the levels of the dihydrotestosterone hormone (DHT).It only occurs to me that maybe it is affecting TB at testosterone levels.And I have found some article about the evidence of low levels of testosterone and diabetes (type 2).Maybe a low level increases insulin resistance
But I don't know much more.I only pass these articles in case they give you a track.

I hope you find the cause.If you keep affecting you, maybe you have to stop stopping it.I have already lost enough hair and I have already surrendered!

Thanks Jldiazdel, I will study the subject.Although I miss a little in the technical part.
I will keep looking, but I am clear that I prefer to stay bald than lose health ...; ;-)
