Can taking insulin / metformin when you don't have diabetes be correlative with losing hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why insulin?: People without diabetes, except under unusual circumstances in a hospital, should not be taking insulin. Please discuss this with your doctor. Taking Insulin if you don't have diabetes could cause life-threatening low blood sugars.
