    If your urine smells sweet you should get your A1C checked.

      around a year ago my A1C was 4.4%, more recently it was 5% - it’s been a 5 for many years.

      It’s not a sweet smell, but a fruity coffee smell that only happens when I pee after I drink coffee.

      fun fact: doctors used to diagnose diabetes by tasting the patient’s urine for sweetness :-)
