acetone breath in diabetes
Acetone breath in diabetes refers to a fruity or sweet-smelling odor in the breath caused by the presence of high levels of acetone, a chemical released during the breakdown of fatty acids for energy. This condition is commonly observed in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, particularly during episodes of high blood sugar levels, and can be indicative of a potentially serious complication called diabetic ketoacidosis.
