I have a 15 year old son who has had very strong breath odor for a couple of weeks. The odor reminds me of ‘Super Glue’ and is very strong. Yesterday an EMT friend told me that this could possibly be diabetes and that if he came upon someone who was unconscious and had that breath odor he would immediately think of diabetes. Is this a possibility? My son was adopted at birth and we have no indications from his medical history that there was a family history of diabetes.
