DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones
Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.
community Insulins impact on androgen levels
Controlling insulin levels through intermittent fasting and a low glycemic diet may improve hair quality by reducing androgens. It's important to maintain proper nutrition, including electrolytes and protein, during fasting.
community Does high sugar/insulin resistance or generally bad diet prevent fin/dut from working?
A poor diet high in sugar and insulin resistance may reduce the effectiveness of finasteride in treating hair loss. Improving diet could potentially enhance treatment results.
community Anyone with high glucose, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or diabetes notice any regrowth after starting treatment?
A 21-year-old male with advanced hair loss (NW7) started using finasteride and minoxidil 10 months ago but hasn't seen much progress. He is pre-diabetic with stage 1 hypertension and is seeking insights on whether treating these conditions could improve hair regrowth.

2 / 801 results- Can metformin improve scalp health in people with insulin resistance or PCOS? There is no controlled trial showing that metformin improves scalp hair. The PCOS studies most often cited measured unwanted body hair, not scalp density, and a published case report describes hair loss during metformin treatment; any use for hair would be off-label and a decision for a prescribing doctor.
