A member asked:

Urine very dark and smells sweet, what could this be from?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible diabetes: Sweet smelling urine can sometimes be related to excess sugar in the urine, most often due to diabetes, though there are several metabolic problems that can cause that also. If a person has diabetes enough to cause urine changes it can be serious so get checked out in the next few days.
