Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of excessive hairfall, while on diabetic medications which is a very common problem nowadays. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like stress, poor hygiene of scalp, genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes. In your case thye symmptoms are either due to horminal changes or side effects of medicines you are taking . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
