I've been dealing with this weird fruity smell on my breath and skin for about 13 months now, and my sweat has this strange syrupy scent too. My friend noticed it, and everything I read online points to diabetes. I had a full blood count done 3 months ago, and it came back fine, even with fasting. I'm really worried about thisdo you think I should see a doctor? I'm not having any other symptoms really, and I know I'm a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, but this just seems like it could be diabetes. What do you think?
