What Causes Excessive Urine Odor?

hi, I am 72 with diabetes, I work in a school, do a lot of walking, etc.. however the last 3 months I have noticed my urine smelling? I feel tired during the day, take a power nap at lunch and after work. went to the local clinic and they did labs and said I was ok, but I am not ok. last fall had cataract surgery and have had blurry vision at times. my blood sugar at 5 am was 80, sometimes it is 120. it goes up when I eat, have been trying to cut out bread but that is difficult.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
Excessive urine odor is common and may not always be pathologic.However, there are many medical conditions that may give such a symptom.Some of these causes may include:
-Dehydration
-Bladder/urinary tract infections
-Marple syrup urine disease
-Phenylketonuria
I will advise you take enough fluids(water) and remain well hydrated.If symptoms persist, you see the Doctor for a urinalysis and urine dipstick test.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards

Dr Mbuomboh
