Almond smelling breath indicates Cyanide poisoning ! If I had seen this post I would have answered in the same way as yourself. I would have also advised the OP to seek immediate medical attention !
Can I just point out to the OP that everybody here is just a Diabetic and not medical professionals. There are no paid monitors, we are just volunteers who give our time and advice freely. We also have time off from this forum and sometimes people choose not to answer posts for various reasons, not because they don't care. Please be patient when you ask a question.
Dollyrockers right, it could be ketones (normally people call it a peardrop smell but....)Dollyrocker said:thought the scented breath thing was caused by high blood sugar not low, I know I had it pre diagnosis and that would make sense with your readings
