Hello
As you mentioned that your mother were a diabetic patient and your brother is also a diabetic . IDDM is usually a hereditary disease .
As you mentioned that you are having hypertension and many PVC'S .
As you have noticed sweet smelling urine so please get in HBC1 C and blood sugar as well urine examination ( complete and culture ) .
As in hypertensive patient with family history of diabetes more chance of sugar in urine .
Ketone bodies also causes such type of sweet smell so get in urine complete .
Consult a diabetologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
