His bad breath may be caused by his high blood sugar levels, which can make someone have breath that smells like he's been out drinking cheap booze all night. That will go away as his diabetes is treated.

One of the important signs of high blood sugar in type1 is ketoacidosis which cause the bad breathing smell (fruit smell) once your child treated properly this smell will not come again but remember this signs mean hyperglycemia this mean your child may need insulin,ask your doctor about it and what to do if it happens

Paulen, that should be the least of your concerns.
Getting his blood sugar level to normal is your primary concern. Follow the doctor's treatment plan to the letter.
Wishing your son the best.
