Diabetes is a common condition which affects more than four million people in the UK, with the vast majority of cases being type 2.
Lifestyle can play a huge part in type 2 and the rising condition, which causes too much sugar in your blood, can cause serious health problems if not treated but symptoms can be difficult to spot as none of the main signs make people feel particularly unwell.
There is one unusual symptom that people can keep an eye out for and that's a key change to the smell of your breath, reports The Mirror. Developing an unusual odour in your mouth could mean you're at risk of high blood sugar, it adds, with a fruity smell a possible symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis which could be the first indication of diabetes.
