I have been told that my overall body odour has changed and is noticeable.
I can only put this down to diabetes and am a little upset that I have not noticed this happening.
Anyone else been told they have a new smell.

I am on forxiga and my urine has a very strong chemical smell. I would not be surprised if my body odor has changed as well. A persons aroma certainly has much to do with what they eat among many other things. Thats why we are each unique. Interesting question, I will ask my hubby.

When people instantly assume that all T2's brought the condition on themselves!
I've noticed my own "new smell" ... And I'm not happy about it. I'm constantly worried that others might smell me. It matters not what sprays I use.
