What Causes Phantom Smell Of A Strange Sickly Sweet Odor?

Hi doc. I have been smelling a strange sickly sweet odor this past day and a half. I have also had migraines for the past few days. I should also mention that I have had the flu/cold for the past several weeks, and am now just getting over it. Are any of these related? I also have diabetes.
