Here's some possibilities on the topic of urine with a sweet smell.

"Sweet-smelling urine can be a sign of an underlying medical condition or infection. Diabetes, urinary tract infections (UTIs), liver disease, and metabolic disorders can make urine smell sweet. Dehydration, very low-carb diets, vitamin supplements, and some medications can also give urine a sweet scent."

Have you discussed the symptoms of the smell with your doctor?

Talked with the endocrinologist and she didn't seem to concerned when I told her it went away when I stopped using the lipoic acid. I have found if I drink lots of water is 'dilutes out' the urine and the smell goes away. I figure it is a metabolic by product of the action of lipoic acid. I'm going to look into it some more.
