Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi , Some people describe it as being a fruity smell, for others it smells acetone like, like nailpolish remover. For Olivia it smells like alcohol! Oh yeah... it's the breath that we're smelling not the urine. I now know when Olivia is spilling ketones just by her breath although I do test just to see what the numbers are. Actually I've heard of diabetics that are initially charged for drunk driving when they go into diabetic shock while driving because of the strong alcohol smell on their breath.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Leah - I'm barging in here - but, I wanted to say thanks for posting this. I had no idea there was a " smell " attached to ketones. I never noticed it even for when Ian has spilled them - at least now I have one more thing I can try to look for when looking for ketones. Thanks again. Are you feeling better I hope? -H > > > > > Ken and Jodi, > > > > > > Thanks for your suggestions we're looking forward to > > > our appointment > > > so we can get on a good program.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi again Girls! I'm doing pretty well now. Still a slight pain issue but it's way less than the pain before so that's a huge plus, and I know that it will be over for good soon. The kids have been great with helping out more and Trent's still my Angel Man doing over and above what he needs too. My prayers are still with everyone going through tough times right now!
