I think I struggled with high insulin resistance all my life and after covid my insulin skyrocketed. With that my hair fell out so much, it wasn’t noticeable at first but after a while it was apparent that I was balding. I never connected it to insulin at first but after I got it in check my hair started to grow again and when I mentioned it to my endocrinologist she confirmed that the hair loss can be caused by high insulin + insulin resistance. So I just wanted to tell you guys to check your insulin before going on any medications, it causes androgenic alopecia and ignoring insulin which taking dht blockers is a temporary solution to a bigger problem
