mrsroo said:I find as a type1, when my levels are very high and keytones are present, I get a smell that's almost like chlorine when I breath in through my nose, it's like being dunked in the swimming pool :/
hi sounds weird i had the same problem i was told to boil a kettle leave it to cool and drink that instead of any water from the supermarkets i have and it has worked for me give it a try for at least a week and see if it works for you goodluck paul devonwoodstar65 said:Hi
I was so glad to read this post as I have had the same problem. I've googled it and there does not seem to be any good answers. I'm type 1 and I find the smell very meaty. I asked my wife if she could smell it and she could. I've tested my blood and key tones and there all ok.
If any one could shed any light on this I would be grateful.

I think it could be the amount of insulin produced by your body when your blood sugar is 3.4 for example.
At times I have been thinking that something was rotten ! I guessed it came from the kidney. I found a way to cure it as follows :
3 teaspoonful of cocoa (I use Nestle) with 2 teaspoonful of sugar in a glass of very warm tea. I drank it twice or thrice daily. That weird smell disappeared after a few days.
I am not a Doctor. No Doctor has been able to tell me what was that weird smell as a residue from the urine. The light pain from my right kidney also disappeared.
I do not know the real source of that weird smell ! if you learn something, please keep us posted. Thanks.
I still drink my cocoa as mentioned above. Feeling also more energy instead of being weak and sleepy with low blood sugar !
