Members explored possible causes for small bumps appearing on the cheeks after a diabetes diagnosis, with suggestions ranging from skin tags (a condition associated with diabetes), rosacea that may resolve once blood sugar is controlled, and gluten intolerance from wheat consumption. Several members shared personal experiences, including one whose rosacea cleared up after achieving stable blood sugar levels and another whose nephew discovered a gluten sensitivity through similar symptoms. A recurring theme was the importance of consulting a dermatologist for proper diagnosis while also considering dietary changes like going gluten-free or eliminating dairy to see if symptoms improve.
