Actually, the loss of hair on the legs and feet is a sign of peripheral vascular damage. I have the same problem as do many diabetics. Dr. Bernstein notes this in his story related in his book Diabetes Solution and on his web site. He notes that with tight blood sugar control he was able to reverse basically all his complications except for his feet deformation, the arteries in his legs and the hair loss on his legs. Fortunately, for most of us, hairy legs is not considered a particularly desirable physical quality.
