sweet smelling body odour

I seem to have developed a new body odour, I can't really describe it, it is a very sickly sweet smell but not a nice one iyswim. But it's not offensive to the nose like an unwashed BO smell, more of a very sweet, warm smell.

I shower every morning. My clothes are always clean. Can't think of the problem.

have you been checked for diabetes at all.

Diabetes can change the way body odor smells. Diabetics often produce a sweet-smelling, somewhat fruity body odor. The scent is very distinctive.

Oh crap, no I haven't. I've only recently noticed this change, maybe past few months.
