To any Nurses or Doctors: a question about possible beginning of S/S of diabetes II

To any Nurses or Doctors: a question about possible beginning of S/S of diabetes II?
I know the pathophysiology for the cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but I am not sure of this problem one of my friends is having. They have always been pretty healthy, but are currently in school and very busy with school, stress, exams, etc. They have mostly always followed a very healthy diet and used to jog and exercise daily for years and years, but now it is different. To the point, sometimes when they eat alot of sweets, for instance like a cupcake with lots o frosting, their face becomes minorly flushed, and the cheeks feel very hot and slightly tingly. I am aware that wih insulin resistance, and my hypothesis is that the sweet glucose from this cupcake would not be able to get into the cell, and is just in the interstitial spaces, or whatever, and that is what is causing the flushing. Do you think it sounds like the possibility of the beginning of type 2 (insulin resistant) diabetes mellitus? Or because of the strict diet, their body can't adjust to high amts of sugar?

I would guess some kind of food allergy before diabetes. I am not aware of hyperglycemia causing the symptoms you described. Having to drink fluid and pee frequently is a sign of diabetes, among others. If DM is a concern, a fasting blood glucose level could be taken in a clinic.

Why do Arab people have so much sugar in their diets

Why do Arab people have so much sugar in their diets?
Diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease are reaching epidemic levels in Arab countries and are more prevalent in in Arab countries than in Western diets. The reason I believe that these disorders are so prevalent in the Arab countries I beleive is because Arabs consume alot of sugar in their diet. Nearly every Arab product i buy is consistently high in sugar to the point that everything just tastes like sugar. for example nearly every arab family i know consumes tea with almost saturated amounts of sugar. Even worse tea is consumed in most cases every hour of the day in most Arab countries. Most of my friends that i associate with some who are Arabs generally agree with me so why is it that people dont act on it. Allah mentions in the quran to look after ourselves and our health. So why dont people act on this. Trust me the epidemics are scary. here is a map on diabetes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diabetes_mellitus_world_map_-_DALY_-_WHO2002.svg

cause we're fat... JKS, i don't think people put sugar in tea, but coffee. I drink tea not coffee but, i don't know. Some of my relatives are fat and are close to having diabetes.
2 :
Have you ever been to Scotland? Sugar? Why its part of our daily 5 don't you know...
3 :
It's not sugar, although Arabs eat sugar, it's the high level of carbohydrates in the food. We have to eat rice or potatoes or pasta every day at lunch and bread every day at breakfast and dinner. Some people actually eat bread, rice and potatoes in one meal!! Even our soup is rich in carbohydrates that turn into sugar in the blood. We also consume a lot of fat, that may not cause diabetes but it does cause high cholesterol and heart diseases. I understand your point, but for some reason they just do not want to stop (the food tastes too good). My father was lately diagnosed with diabetes and my mom just would change the diet, I fight with her about it every day and her reply is "but boiled food does not taste good - do you want me to feed him hospital food". (OK, I'm not stopping until she is convinced but this is just an example of how people think - mind you, my mom is educated, I'm not talking about uneducated people which would probably react in an even worse way). The tea may be very sweet but not the coffee; and trust me, it's not about the sweets.
4 :
Haluww... stereotypical problem.
5 :
i dont know, i thought it was bad how my dad likes 5 teaspoons of sugar in his tea, but then my teacher told me her husband takes 7, and they are russian. it depends on the person i think, not the culture. our coffee usually has no sugar in it. but it is okay in my family, no one of us ever has had diabetes.. we have good genes alhamduillah :))
6 :
One point is what is done with food after eating: exercise. I've noticed that Arabs in the Middle East do have a really high incidence of obesity. Exercise is not practiced like it is in America although America is fast catching up on the obesity scale. Americans are very socially anti-fat too. Not really very accepting of fat people, that's a non-issue for most Arabs Sports are given much more of a priority in the west that helps some people achieve better health.

The one hour glucose test did not come back 'positive' for diabetes mellitus. It came back as suggestive of gestational diabetes. Some women develop an elevated glucose during pregnancy - referred to as gestational diabetes. The physician wants you to undergo a three hour glucose test to confirm the diagnosis. If you prove to have gestational diabetes the treatment is with analog insulins. It does not mean that you will have diabetes after delivering your child. It most definitely does not mean that your child has diabetes. If identified and treated promptly - there is no significant risk to the child. It does not mean that the baby could be defored or be unhealthy or that the child will develop any health problems as long as you are properly diagnosed or treated. First wait and see if the diagnosis is gestational diabetes. Then follow your physician's insulin regimen as precisely as you are able. This is not uncommon in pregnancy, and therefore, the approach to treatment is well defined. It sounds as if your physician has done due diligence in identifying a potential problem. If you have gestational diabetes your physician should be able to insure that no harm will come to mother or child. I wish you both the very best of health and may God bless.

I know you might find this strange but some Pregnant people only have Diabetes with the pregnancy after the baby is born its goes away i don't know what it is in your case but. The Baby will be fine as long as you keep your blood at a normal level witch is 6.7 or 7.0 i am Diabetic and i'm only 15 but i was worried about my children when i'm older and i found out that if you don't look after your blood levels then you might have a Misscarage or a Still birth i don't want to scare you but look after the both of you ;)
