Breath That Smells Like Fruit or Nail Polish
When your body is unable to produce insulin, your cells are deprived of the glucose they require for fuel. When this occurs, your body switches to burning fat instead. However, this leads to the production of ketones, which start building up in your bloodstream and urine. Excessive ketone levels can lead to bad breath, often smelling like nail polish. The reason it may smell like nail polish is because one of the ketones is acetone, which is typically added to the beauty product. When ketone levels grow unsafe, your risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) increases. DKA symptoms include abdominal pain, confusion, and a fruity sweet odor on your breath.
