What Causes Sweet Smelling Sweat, Excessive Thirst And Frequent Urination?

I am a 23 severely overweight female. I have always been at high risk of diabetes and had 6 montly glucose intolerance tests untill the age of 18. Now i have noticed lots of symptoms of diabetes such as occasional sweet smelling sweat, constant thirst and urinating very frequently through out the night. I also go very faint regularly unexplained. I have bought this to the attention of my gp and he has performed a fasting glucose blood test which came back normal. My gp won t investigate further and I am starting to worry
