I personally think it smells like cheap shoes people buy at Payless and the like.
My husband was on an airplane once and woke up to the smell of insulin (because he is used to it from me). The man next to him was a T1 and was giving an injection. LOL!

I once spilled a whole vial of insulin on my jeans and had to go to class. Everyone said that it smelled like a hospital.
