In the program IIRC it was a blind man who identified the smell. That
would indicate that maybe people with all their senses may not have
noticed it.

I used to do ironing many many years ago for a man who said he had "insulin
dependant" diabetes. This was before I knew anything about blood glucose
problems in any way. His breath was terrible, it was fruity and it was
easily smelled from normal talking distance away. I also smelled the same on
my dentist, who by nature of the occupation was pretty much in your face
(before dentists started wearing masks).

Interesting. My periodontist asked me lots of questions
about HbA1c, FBG's and so on a year ago "for a friend". I
emailed him a copy of Jennifer's advice.

A family friend around that same era who was in his 50's did a lot of
carpentry work in my house. I made a batch of scones for his first morning
tea and he declined. Said he was a diabetic taking insulin and ate 3 times a
day only, no snacks and bought his own food wherever he went. He accepted
just a cup of tea instead of my goodies :) I never once smelled anything
with him. In hindsight it probably meant the guy I ironed for wasn't in
great control??
