Answer 3

Acetone is the reaction of Insulin verses food. The natural break- down of food through the Pancreas producing insulin is done with stages that don't let Blood Sugars reach over a certain point and will not produce the Acetone odor. Different types of Insulin react to different amounts of food -vs- injection. Diabetics taking Oral Diabetic Medication causes a faster chemical breakdown when food is present producing an odor especially when High Blood Sugars are also present.. When a Diabetic Medication taken orally is administered on an empty stomach no smell is present if Blood Sugars are within Normal range 95mg-114mg.

Answer 5

Acetone breath in diabetics is caused by an excess production of acetone. Acetone, hydroxybutyrate, and acetoacetate are ketones, byproducts of fat metabolism. When the body does not have enough insulin (as is the case in people with diabetes), a hormone that is key in glucose metabolism, it instead uses fatty acids as an alternative source of energy, and ketones are the result of this process. Ketones are also produced during a fasting state or when consuming a ketogenic (high-fat, low-carbohydrate) diet.
