What diseases can be associated with a fruity smell in the breath?

Patient's question:

These days, my breathing rate has increased, breathing has become deeper and slower, and I always feel a smell similar to rotten apples. I asked a doctor, and they said it's diabetic ketoacidosis. It sounds very scary, and I think this disease must be quite serious.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there may be a fruity smell when exhaling, which is a symptom of diabetic complications. You should pay attention to your diet, as dietary regulation is most important for diabetics. Take your medication on time, get adequate rest, avoid overexertion, and engage in appropriate exercise.
