7. Fruity breath
People with uncontrolled diabetes, especially one that has been going on for a long time already, may experience fruity or sweet-smelling breath.
If ever you notice this, please seek medical help right away. This is one of the signs of diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening complication of diabetes.
Work Closely With Your Doctor
If you notice these signs, save for fruity breath as that requires immediate medical attention, please set an appointment with your doctor at the soonest possible time. Bring your blood sugar monitoring record and report when and how you experienced these signs.
Based on their observations, they might ask you to modify your diet, physical activity, or medication.
