Diabetes patients typically do not experience dizziness. Your dizziness is most likely caused by insufficient cerebral blood supply. We recommend that you visit a hospital for a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause; once diagnosed, timely and appropriate treatment can be initiated. Additionally, during diabetes management, dietary control is essential: prioritize low-glycemic-index foods and consume ample vegetables.
