Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2005Mouth smells like apples
Hello everyone! I have a question, namely is it true that if one child's mouth (17 months) smells like apples, this particular child may have diabetes?? How can this be true? I've read about it in a magazine for Child Health and I couldn't belive my eyes! Note! The particular child I'm speaking, eats apples every day Thanks! andron.marius wrote > Hello everyone! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks! It is more like a nail-varnish-remover smell, and if it is like that then Type 1 diabetes is possible. How is your child's weight? How often does the child get teeth cleaned to remove the smell? Please take the child to a doctor. We are not doctors, and a child is too precious to be trusted to us for online diagnosis. Alan H 12 kilograms, no there are NO other simptoms. No the smell does not resemble the nail varnish remover! andron.marius wrote > 12 kilograms, no there are NO other simptoms. No the smell does not > resemble the nail varnish remover! I still think the child should be taken to see a doctor. It is simply not possible to be too careful with a child so young that he cannot tell you what he feel like. Alan H Ja, that's for sure. Now the fruity smell is gone, his mouth doesn't always have this smell, I forgott to mention this. This mornins he ate apples too, so I stil belive this to be the ONLY explanation. He is happy, and runs all day long. He wouldn't have been so happy, or in such a good mood, if he had had something. > Ja, that's for sure.

This *support* ng is no substitution for competent medical advice. He's too young and the potential consequences too devastating to be messing around with this on a ng.

When a child is developing type 1 diabetes their breath gets a fruity smell as a result of DKA diabetic ketoacidosis which is a potentially fatal condition if left untreated. If you suspect diabetes in a 17 month old child for any reason, regardless of their diet, you take them to the doctor or ER and have them tested for diabetes. If you don't, the child could die if they are type 1 and left untreated. I was diagnosed at 8 years old and almost died by the time I was brought in. If the parent is afraid of appearing over protective or whatever else may embarrass them, they need to get over themselves and always err on the side of caution when it comes to children.

Jesus never hated anyone. Andron , are there any other symptoms that you notice. If the child eats apples that might account for the apple breath, I am not a doctor and I believe you should call your pediatrician and get his opinion and perhaps have the child tested for diabets. Loreta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. Thanks Loretta! No there are NO other simptoms that one can notice. I personally think that it is absolutely normal for him to have an apple breath as he eats apples+combined with home - made cheese everyday! Anyway the testing is of utmost importance If you have a glucose meter, or have a friend who has one, it might be simple enough to do a quick test yourself. That is no substitute for a trip to the doctor, but at least it will give you an idea. If his fasting BG is over 100 mg/dl, I would recommend follow up with a doctor immediately... I check my own son periodically, because it runs in our family. Will, T2 > Hello everyone! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks! Mouth odors can be a sign of serious disease. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003058.htm Only your doctor can do the tests to find out for sure. If you are at all concerned, get him checked. Sarah T1 my cats breath smell like cat food >> Hello everyone! >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Sarah > T1 > my cats breath smell like cat food Are you sure that smell is cat food? My cat spends most of her time doing other things besides eating(if you know what I mean) If I had to guess at my cats breath, I'd have to say its probably smells more like BUTT then anything.
