Can my fingers as well as my breath emit a fruity odour as a result of diabetes?



Can my fingers as well as my breath emit a fruity odour as a result of diabetes?

Yes this means you are in ketoacidosis. Your blood sugar has ran so high your body is compensating for it. The fruity odor is a definitive sign of ketoacidosis.

It would be possible for sweat to produce the odor that could result in your hands smelling that way, but I doubt it would be extremely prominent. The more likely culprit would be that as you smell you fingers the odor from your mouth are lingering in your oral/nasal cavity.

not in my experiece........diabetics breath still stinks!
yes, if your breath smells like acetone or very fruity like that, then that is a sign of a major sugar problem. In the body, a chemical that is formed when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. The formation of acetone means that cells lack insulin or cannot effectively use available insulin to burn glucose for energy. Acetone passes through the body into the urine as one of the so-called ketone bodies.

Acetone is highly volatile. The breath of someone with a great deal of acetone in the body smells fruity and is called "acetone breath."
