Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Diabetes is one of the common conditions that can cause a sweet smell on the nose.
The abnormal A1c reading is related to this diagnosis.
I suggest to do a glycemic level and to repeat the A1c examination for confirmation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
