ammonia smelling sweat

Hey Folks,
I was curious if any of you ever noticed a change in your sweat? I figured you guys in the exercise forum would be the experts on sweating. I jog 4-5 miles a day, and over the last year or so I noticed my gym bag wreaks of ammonia when I get it home. From what little I've been able to find on the internet it sounds like it's usually caused from not enough carbs in your diet, but I found a few articles that said it could be caused by your body not being able to metabolize carbs properly.

I think I'm in the process of becoming diabetic. I'm doing all the Dr. visits and stuff right now...I'm just curious if the ammonia smell might be a clue as to when my body started to act up. I "searched" the forums and didnt find anything so it might very well be due to the low carb diet, but figured there was no harm in asking. Peace

So your not a diabetic? Are you going to the bathroom alot and drinking alot of fluids. Also your pee and your breath might smell funny. I don't know about the sweat but it could be I guess not sure.
