If your diabetes is under control then hair transplant surgery should be no issue. One consequence of having diabetes is poor wound healing. Fortunately wounds on the scalp with its abundant blood supply heal well (as opposed to wounds on the foot).
Fortunately, the risks of hair transplant are low. The scalp is very vascular which makes infections rare. If diabetes is under reasonably good control then I would have no reservations of performing a hair transplantation. FUE may offer a healing advantage since long linear scars on a diabetic person may be more challenging to heal.
Yes, most individuals with type 2 diabetics can undergo hair transplantation. The vast majority have no problems. I like to order a hemoglobin A1c in my diabetic patients and we sometimes check blood sugars during the procedure. Complications in hair transplantation are rare to begin with. For the 18 million Americans with diabetes, a large proportion would be OK candidate for this type of surgical procedure. However, type type 2 diabetics, mainly "poorly controlled" type 2 diabetics, may have a higher risk of complications. It would not be correct to assume that complications are impossible for an individual with type 2 diabetes. It is well known that wound healing can be impaired in type 2 diabetes. In fact, wound healing is one of the most important concern in type 2 diabetic individuals. Anyone with type 2 diabetes needs a full evaluation before surgery.

If your diabetic condition is under contro then you should have no problem doing hair transplant. However as the Elaine process is taking place it is important to have follow up visits to make sure you are healing properly.
Shock loss is due to the loss of normal hair whether it is from donor site or recipient area. It occurs in less than 5% of patients. It can occur with both FUE and strip procedures. Usually if it occurs it will take place in the recipient area. Shock loss from hair transplant can occur ...
Having existing hair is always better. Taking Finasteride along with a transplant will help save and thicken existing hair. You could have a transplant at any time,just make sure you have a long term gameplan.
The best way to find the right surgeon is to do a great deal of research. Talk to several clinics. Go to several consultations. Ask the hard questions such as how long have you been performing transplants? Where was your training? What punch size do you use in FUE? Are your techs from flying...
