Ketosis - which is what happens when you are sick with diabetes - tends to cause a fruity odor.
Uremia - when you are sick due to kidney failure - tends to result in a urine like odor.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

No , your breath can smell fruity. It's called acetone breath:
Acetone
A chemical formed in the blood when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. If acetone forms, it usually means that the cells do not have enough insulin, or cannot use the insulin that is in the blood, to use glucose for energy. Acetone passes through the body into the urine. Someone with a lot of acetone in the body can have breath that smells fruity and is called "acetone breath."

It could just be halatosis...
Or if your breath smells kind of like a sweet wine or fruit it could be high ketones which is NOT always diabetes, but could be...
If you do have diabetes (with uncontrolled blood sugar) you wont pass a breathalizer test because the sugar in your breath conducts the same way alcohol does.
definently something to talk with a doctor about.

just a myth but what is a fact is that if you have a strange sweet breath that means your sugar is up too high and not good for you you should check your sugar at least 4 times a day
check it in the morning when you get up ,2 hours after each meal and right before you go to bed for the night. it is also a good idea to mark down the ratings you get on a daily basis and keep it with you so you can refer to it if you have problems away from home, so a medical expert can refer to it in case of a emergency.

Its when you have diabetic ketoacidosis that your breath acquires a sickly sweetness which is obvious to some observers but not appreciated by others.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious life-threatening condition. Controlled diabetes do not usally have a particular breath smell as far as i know, and i've seen a great deal of these patients.

Okay. You just scared the hell out of me. My kid has had really stinky breath lately and is not sick and he has very good oral health. He has gained some lbs and last night he put sugar on his sugared cereal.
