Smelly urine

[ariaxo]

My hba1c has been ok for the last year but I noticed my urine smells really strongly. I can't describe the smell when I Google it, it says a sweet smell or whatever but to me it's just pee but a lor stronger and it's really embarrassing for me.

BUT my blood sugars in the past have been extremely bad.

I think it's because of unregulated blood sugar.

But like if I do better with my blood sugars and go keto and take my insulin blah blah, how long do you think it'll take for my **** to smell normal?

Hmm, forum rules don't allow us to diagnose, but there is an interesting selection of possible medical causes below

Have you checked for ketones and have you spoken to your GP about the issue? In my personal experience, when my bgs were poor I was very prone to urine infections, though these should (hopefully) be picked up when you go for a diabetic check up.

Honestly, I'd go and have a chat with your doctor and at least get your urine tested, just to rule out any medical causes.

I’d maybe also think about what I’m drinking and what I might be drinking too much of or not enough of.
