I haven't correlated it with that but there are times (cyclic-wise) when I do have more of an odor than other times. I wouldn't be surprised at that - all those lovely BO bacteria are probably going to town munching on the high level of glucose (same reason that diabetics are prone to candidia infections all over, it's not just a groin issue).
Hi and welcome to the board. This isn't something that I have noticed. Most of the time my blood sugar isn't consistently high so perhaps that is why I have never noticed it. I do know that a sweet smell should be looked at immediately because it could be from ketones.
Have you asked your physician or diabetic educator about this?

Thanks, Deb. I never gave it a thought that it might be "female" in nature. I guess the ol' perimenopause strikes again - LOL!!!
I do have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday for my annual physical and I plan to ask her if there is anything I can do about it. I stink!!!
Thanks again!
