I am a type 1 diabetic and recently my friends at work told
me that I have developed a fruity odor. Is this from gum disease?
It could be from gum disease but since you are a
diabetic, I think you need to get your blood sugars and ketone levels checked,
I would do this ASAP. Fruity breath generally signifies presence of ketones and
is never a good sign. In the meantime, make sure your blood sugars are under control, eat right, drink plenty of fluids and take your insulin as prescribed.
