See doctor: Sweet/fruity breath can be a symptom of uncontrolled diabetes. See your fp to be checked, especially if u r thirsty a lot, hungry frequently, urinate often, heal slowly.

Confusing question: Fruity breath does not remind me of urine, but it surely is a sign of diabetes. The disease is known as diabetes mellitus, the second word is derived from the word sweet. The inability to process sugars due to an Insulin deficiency or pancreatic malfunction. There are 2 basic types: 1 childhood onset or Insulin dependent 2 adult onset, which may or may not be controlled by just oral meds or diet.
