Experiencing a sweet smell like Juicy Fruit gum.

From that perspective the fruity smell can be the result of diabetic ketoacidosis. It is extremely high blood sugar and can be life threatening. Those of you who are experiencing fruity smells (coming from yourself, like your breath and body) should ask your medical provider at your earliest opportunity. At the very least, mention it at your next appointment.

In the 13+ years that I've been experiencing the smell, I have never been diagnosed with any diabetic maladies. It has been one of my first concerns, but never proved to be serious.

Thank you for your warning. I haven't had any serious problems for several years except the smell for 12 days a year in the spring. A couple of years went by without it.
