Blood sugar dizziness
Common Questions and Answers about Blood sugar dizziness
blood-sugar
Hypoglycemia/ low blood sugar would be considered blood sugar levels less than about 70. Your result of 103 is normal, not hypoglycemia.
It is likely that your symptoms may be from other causes. Sometimes headaches can be a sign of not drinking enough - so a glass of water and a few minutes to relax / be quiet - may help a lot.
Hope this helps.
Further, have you ever tested yor blood sugar when you skip a meal? If not, you may get low blood sugar when you get that. When my blood sugar gets low, I have gotten shaky, a headache, etc..
When it comes to drinking, if you don't drink enough water, you might develop a case of orthostatic hypotension, where your blood pressure drops when you stand up and your vision can blur.
Not getting enough sleep can make your cognitive functions not do as well.
Hi,
Your symptom of dizziness was most likely due to high blood sugar. Hyperglycemia can cause dizziness and drowsiness.
Please make sure you keep your blood sugar levels under control by dietary control and blood sugar medication.
Also make sure you keep yourself well hydrated by maintaining your fluid intake.
Keep us posted.

You should also check your blood sugar and your blood pressure. Maybe you could get a fasting blood sugar there? and your blood pressure. Don't they have neurologists in Asia? Definitely America has plenty of Neurologists. They also have ENT doctors. When I got severe vertigo they tested me for both seizure, migraine and hearing. I already knew I had the migraine variant by the EEG I had. They say I had high brain wave signals.
today again he felt quite dizzy strongly for a few secs so he went to get his blood sugar and pressure tested. his blood sugar was 5.7 after breakfast and his pressure was 130/90.
my question is what could be the reason for this dizziness? hes completely normal and healthy now. but in the past 6 months he has felth this dizziness 3 times. thanking u for ur help and assistance ... waiting for ur reply.
Hmm sweetie that sounds a Lil scarry I can see why your concerned and not to make it worse but fainting can be an iron issue or a blood sugar one.
Having an imbalance of sugar levels in the body, does not normally cause dizzy turns, but it is still worth getting it checked out. An HBA1C blood test can show the average sugar levels in your blood over a period of 12 weeks. There would be other symptoms of sugar problems, but sometimes there are none.
Hope the cause is found soon so that you can get the correct treatment.
Best wishes.
Hi
Welcome to the forum!
There are many causes of dizziness, lightheadedness, passing out, blackouts etc. It is difficult to comment without examination. I am just enumerating the possible causes. You can discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined.
Dizziness could be due to postural hypotension (blood pressure falling with change of position), internal ear problems and cervical spondylitis or compression of cervical spinal nerves.
Get up very slowly and stand there for a minute before trying to walk
Stay hydrated and eat frequently
There should be guidelines as to what your blood sugar should be when you are fasting, so make sure you adhere to that. As long as you blood sugar is well controlled overall (evidence by your blood glucose sticks) you should be fine. Your provider will also draw blood (HbA1c) at some visits to make sure your sugar levels are well controlled. If you experience dizziness or you still get tired it means your blood sugar is low.
Yes I was thinking low blood pressure or perhaps low blood sugar. It could also be an ear /balance problem. Try to eat regularly with some protein with each meal ( maybe smaller meals about 6 times a day with protein). Protein stabilizes the blood sugar if it is low. If it isn't a blood sugar problem you could try takikng benedryl at night and see if this dries up an inner ear problem. It could turn out to be neurological.
Dizziness is common throughout pregnancy. Because of the blood being directed to the placenta, the blood getting back to mom isn't top priority any more. I had it bad until about 14 weeks. But continue drinking water in case you're dehydrated and make sure you blood sugar isn't low so eat something when you feel that way. But if it's none of those things it's just the blood flow. It stinks.
Vision changes and are a symptom of high blood sugar and with your family history, I would suggest having a glucose test done. Other symptoms of Type 2 diabetes (some similar to Type 1) would be extreme thirst and hunger, hard to heal wounds, weight loss, frequent urination, blurred vision, tingling and numbness and itchy skin. A CBC test will show the maturity and count of red and white blood cells but is not the tool used to diagnose diabetes.
I was getting this, and I thought it was gestational diabetes... Midwife thought it also might be related to my low blood pressure or blood sugar. Went and got tested and I didn't have GD but I did have no iron. So dizziness was from low iron combined with low bp. I was always worst after breakfast or if I did too much physically. Go and get tested if you can, best to know for sure instead of guessing!
Could be low BP or low blood sugar levels.
