weird smell


So you add cocoa powder and sugar to a cup of warm tea? How did you come up with that concoction? Did you read about it, someone tell you about it or did you just come up with the idea yourself? I'm interested in what made you think of cocoa in the first place? :think:
 
Re cocoa - have a read of the News item currently on the Home page.

re the smell - I sometimes get an acrid sort of smell coming off my skin. It seems only I can smell it. The only thing I can compare it to is the smell of new carpet. I've begun to think it may be something to do with Metformin - my surgery hand out different brands, depending on what's available from the supplier, and I seem to associate the smell with a change of brand.

My BGs are never very high, so it's not that. The only other thing that could be involved is red wine .

Hi
I've had it since I started using Lantus...and running high....I think it is a chemical reaction to what ever is in the insulin. Have asked to be put onto different type.

Research from the USA tells us that cocoa/drinking chocolate is good for the ageing brain - 2 mugs a day. Any excuse!

Hi I was wondering if anyone gets a weird smell like urine, that only they can smell. Its driving me mental and keep thinking its coming off me when I know it isnt.

You might have an infection, does it sting when you go to toilet, i had that smell for a while, drink plenty water might help, help flush it out.
