Assuming a diabetic 2 patient is on medication and an endocrinologist or GP is comfortable it’s under control, then what ? Are there any published guidelines that you can refer me to specifically regarding HbA1c ? I mean, anyone under 6 as per Longevita’s protocol is non diabetic. So if I’m correct, have they made a mistake on their article cited in the opening post? Sorry to persist, but a significant proportion of people now struggle with diabetes 2 and are likely to encounter this issue with uncertainty without universally recognized guidelines and transparency.

Would you go ahead if all other pre HT were normal at 7.3% for example ? Would you refer to an endocrinologist report as stated in the above link for comfort that it was under control ?

I’m confused as the example I have shows Longevita will not do the procedure over 6%. That said, official government health bodies ( US, UK and Australia ) citing scientific studies or formal declarations do not communicate any significant risks with hair transplants. I found nothing specific relating to this blood test and the range. Here’s another example: Incidence of Complaints and Complications The author has recorded the incidence of complication and complaints out of 2896 patients operated during June 11, 2009, to November 30, 2020. There were no significant or life-threatening complications https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8719980/ Where do you get the 7% maximum from?

What is an acceptable HbA1c range for a person with diabetes to have a hair transplant? If you have diabetes 2 should you be refused treatment before a deposit is taken? Should all clinics provide this test before procedure ? I've read varying promotional hair clinic reports and medically reliable sites cited here: NHS UK - no mention of risk to diabetes patients : https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cosmetic-procedures/hair-transplant/ Clinics suggesting diabetes 2 is not always a problem: 1. https://drserkanaygin.co.uk/diabetes-and-hair-loss/ 2. https://www.estecapelli.com/en/can-diabetes-patients-have-hair-transplantation/ 3. and so on if you Google the subject matter One clinic puts a limiting range reaching 6 ( a measurement ) https://www.longevitahairtransplant.com/guides/hair-transplant-aftercare-for-people-with-diabetes/ , but I thought all diabetics would be over this. What's the truth, medical view and guidelines that diabetics should be within for hair transplantation ? Anything official ?
