Type 2 Diabetes
Sweet-smelling urine is a possible sign of type 2 diabetes, a condition in which sugar accumulates in the blood because the body doesn't metabolise sugar correctly. Other symptoms may include frequent urination, fatigue, increased thirst and hunger and blurred vision.
Type 2 diabetes commonly occurs in people over age 45, who are overweight or inactive or have family members with the condition. Managing type 2 diabetes may involve losing weight, exercising, eating healthy foods and taking medications.4‘Smelly Urine.’ NHS Choices, NHS, www.nhs.uk/conditions/smelly-urine/,7‘Type 2 Diabetes.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 20 Jan. 2021, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/type-2-diabetes/symptoms-causes/syc-20351193
