Diabetes and Propecia

I would like to thank you first for this wonderfull and highly educating blog.I am a 20 years old Male with type 1 diabetes. I have been experiencing hairloss for the past 2 years. I tried Regaine for the past year but stopped it because of the major itching it was causing. My two questions are if I started taking propecia, would it cause me any health damage related with the my situation.? is there any particular tests I should take before starting on propecia? (I dont have any health problems other than type1 diabetes). Thank you

Type 1 diabetes should not be a problem when you take Propecia, but get a good hair doctor involved in the diagnosis and treatment.

I’ve written quite a bit about the drug, so I won’t rewrite the same stuff again… but Propecia will work best when you’re in the early stages of genetic hair loss, which it sounds like you could be (I can’t say for sure as I haven’t seen a photo or met you).
