A fruity odor is characteristic of the preswense of ketone bodies, which are produced when blood glucose levels are abnormally high and there is insufficient insulin available.

Thus, as waverider suggested, you require a complete diabetic evaluation.

Insofar as your hernia, you need to find a physician who is familiar with SIS, otherwise known as "small intestine submucosa", which is undergoing FDA trials and, if used, should completely solve your hernia issue. July or August Discover magazine has a good article.

Fruity smelling urine has several causes. What you didn't tell us is how your glucose levels are currently so its difficult to say if uncontrolled/unmanaged diabetes is playing large role in this. When glucose levels are excessive blood sugars are passed to the kidneys which in turn spill them out in the urine. If you breath has a fruity smell you need to see a doctor asap. Although rare in t2 diabetics, the possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis, a life threatening complication, may have surfaced. Get off the computer and call your doctor now. Good luck
