Help answer this question below.
Yes, mosquitoes are more attacted to diabetics because they typically have higher blood glucose levels.
mosquitoes will are attracted to men more than women, but I can't see that that would qualify as 'sweet skin'! :-)
They say if you are drinking, more mosquitoes are attracted to you because of the alcohol. However, it is actually the carbon dioxide that attracts mosquitoes.
It is the carbon dioxide in oyur exhale that attracts the mosquito. I have often wondered if it would be possible to make a mouthwash that masked the carbon dioxide. Some of you smart young people need to get on that. These skeeters and no-see-ums are eatin' me up.
My mom seems to be allergic to Citronella. Is there a mosquito deterring alternative in the tiki or candle styles?

But, aren't they attracted to "sweet skin" if there is such a thing?

Diabetics don't have as much sugar so I'd think they'd get bitten less... :/
by Cut My Heart on November 4th, 2007
Diabetics have more glucose in their blood. It does not get absorbed as well because they have a problem with insulin production or sensitivity (depending on the type). So, yes, uncontrolled diabetics have more sugar in their blood.

I'm still a tad confused though. let me get this straight: mosquitoes are more attracted to diacbetecs because diabetecs have a higher blood glucose level which is sugar which comes from carbohydrate foods?
by Cut My Heart on November 4th, 2007
yes, the sugar attracts mosquitoes.
