What is diabetes mellitus?

Diabetes or Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that refers to the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin hormone to balance blood sugar levels or to use the insulin hormone it produces effectively. There are several types of diabetes explained by high blood sugar levels. The best-known types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs from childhood. In type 1 diabetes, for some unknown reason, the immune system inhibits the production of the hormone insulin, which helps to stabilize rising sugar levels in the blood. In other words, for unknown reasons, the immune system attacks the pancreatic cells that produce insulin. As a result, the pancreas cannot produce insulin. Therefore, Type 1 patients must take the hormone insulin daily to stabilize sugar in the blood.

The most common form of diabetes in the world is type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs in people older than 35-40 years of age. In type 2 diabetes, also known as insulin resistance, the body secretes insulin that balances blood sugar, but the receptors that detect insulin in the cells do not work. In other words, the cells become insensitive to insulin. This leads to high blood sugar levels in patients.

Diabetes is a serious disease that damages the overall functioning of the body. If high blood sugar levels persist for a long time, it can cause permanent damage to the entire body, including the heart and blood vessels, kidneys and eyes. Therefore, patients with diabetes must pay close attention to their diet and lifestyle.

Does diabetes cause hair loss?

Diabetes can cause hair loss. It is very important to take enough protein and vitamins for the growth and elongation of hair follicles and for the regular functioning of hormones in the body. In diabetics, hormonal changes caused by the hormone insulin can cause thinning and hair loss. The main factors that cause hair loss in diabetic patients can be listed as follows:

Problemen met de bloedsomloop: Door beschadiging van de haarvaten bij diabetespatiënten kunnen voedingsstoffen en zuurstof die door het bloed worden vervoerd de hoofdhuid niet voldoende bereiken. Haarzakjes die niet genoeg voedingsstoffen krijgen, kunnen verzwakken en de vorming van nieuw haar kan worden vertraagd.
Hormonale stoornissen: Bij diabetespatiënten kunnen hormonale stoornissen optreden als gevolg van schommelingen in de hormoonproductie in het lichaam of een gebrekkige werking van hormonen. Deze hormonale onevenwichtigheden beïnvloeden de haargroeicyclus.
Stoornissen van het immuunsysteem: Het hoge suikergehalte in het bloed zorgt ervoor dat de receptoren die virussen en bacteriën detecteren die ons lichaam proberen binnen te dringen, ongevoelig worden. Dit verzwakt ons immuunsysteem. Een verzwakt immuunsysteem kan haaruitval veroorzaken.
Traagheid in haarregeneratie: Diabetes is een ernstige ziekte die het algemeen functioneren van het lichaam aantast. Hormonale stoornissen en een verzwakt immuunsysteem kunnen leiden tot onderbrekingen in de haargroeicyclus.

Can Type 1 diabetics undergo hair transplantation?

Type 1 diabetes is a serious disease that occurs from childhood age. Type 1 diabetics can undergo hair transplantation if the necessary controls are performed and blood sugar levels are kept stable. The hair transplant procedure can take 7-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted and the hair transplant method chosen by the patient. For people with diabetes, hair transplant procedures should be kept short and blood sugar levels should be monitored continuously.

Is hair transplantation performed on Type 2 Diabetes patients?

It is possible to control type 2 diabetes with medication and reduce symptoms. With the help of medications prescribed by a doctor, patients with type 2 diabetes can undergo a successful hair transplant.

What is the hair restoration process of diabetic patients?

It is possible for diabetics to undergo hair transplantation, provided it is under control. However, hair transplantation in diabetics is a serious and sensitive procedure. The following issues should be considered when performing this procedure:

When performing hair transplantation in diabetic patients, the latest status of the patient’s immune system, the course of the disease and the details of the hair loss should be carefully examined.

The healing of wounds caused by the procedure after hair transplantation in diabetic patients takes place later than in normal patients. In this regard, the process after hair transplantation should be followed carefully.
Sterilization of the instruments used in hair transplant procedures in diabetic patients and sterilization of the procedure room is very important. Maximum care must be taken to ensure that diabetics never get infected.
Fluid therapy should be applied during the hair transplant procedure in diabetic patients and the specialized doctor should monitor the process.
The most important stage in hair transplantation for diabetics is the healing process after transplantation. Since the healing of wounds in diabetics will be delayed, it is best to follow your doctor’s instructions exactly and work with a clinic that follows the process.
