community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

community Does high sugar/insulin resistance or generally bad diet prevent fin/dut from working?
A poor diet high in sugar and insulin resistance may reduce the effectiveness of finasteride in treating hair loss. Improving diet could potentially enhance treatment results.
