Question: I'm interested in getting a hair transplant, but because I'm a diabetic, I would like to know if the procedure would adversely affect my health in any way.

Answer: There should be no adverse affect on your health. Many of my past patients have had both insulin and non-insulin dependent diabetes, and the only difference was that they tended to have a slower rate of hair regrowth, typically four months as opposed to three.
