Hi folks,
This may seem an odd question, but here goes anyway. Do people with diabetes experience an altered sense of smell? I'm finding that the scent of my usual laundry liquid & fabric softener is unpleasant & makes me feel nauseous. I can't tolerate my favourite fragrances anymore either. I've noticed many aromas, that never used to bother me, now make me cringe. My sense of taste has changed too. All very weird. I haven't got a throat, sinus or respiratory infection/problem, so I'm wondering if my "symptoms" are related to my diabetes. Can anyone offer their experience or advice please?
