Is your breath acetone level an accurate indicator for your blood glucose level?

Acetone : Acetone or a fruity smell that comes of someone's breath is a sign of DKA from poorly controlled sugars in ones blood stream. This is an emergent condition. The best indicator of your blood sugar levels is a BMP.
