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 have never heard of DM II causing people to be flushed when they eat sweets. I guess it may be possible, but the only way to know for sure is to get a urinalysis. If she is in school there are always free clinics or go to student health.
