Are you talking about type 1 (found in mostly younger people like kids)or type 2 ( Found in elderly or obese people) diabetes!? Well if you're talking type 1 then I know its caused by extreme high blood sugar!. The smell is usually is because of DKA or diabetic ketoasidosis!. And that smell only comes from those people who are in that dangerous state!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
The only thing that may smell funny is the urine which contains a large amount of sugars!. The sugars may also escape through the pores which may cause a fruity smell however, I have never heard of this happening!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
