HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Kidney failure can result in abnormal levels of electrolytes but this would normally occur if the kidneys are significantly impaired.
Significant abnormalities with some of the electrolytes can cause dizziness.

Creatinine levels are normally done at least once a year in a diabetic to assess the kidneys. If these have been done and are normal then it is unlikely that the kidneys are responsible for your dizziness.

You should speak to your doctor about your concern. He or she may have creatinine done if there is no recent test.

I hope this helps
