What Causes Severe Dizziness When Diagnosed With Diabetes?

I just consulted a doctor, I experienced dizziness she took an EKG it was ok, then blood in which cholesterol, iron, vitamin C, blood cells, pressure, also my thyroid everything was ok, except glucosse she said the maximum is 5.7 and it should be up to that or less, she said I m pre diabetic so i have to watch that so she told me to go on a diet but she didn t tell me if this is the cause of my dizziness. By chance this happens at the end of my period when I lose a lot of blood although it s regular. But, what is causing my dizziness??? Thank you , Giovanna

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Dizziness when getting your periods is due to 2 main problems:

1. hormonal changes
2. hypotension following bleeding

Increase water intake can add ORS to replace the loss of fluids with bleeding.

Have your meals regularly. Of course, should be careful with the food you choose to avoid further aggravation of diabetes.

The diet for diabetes itself can make you hypoglycemic and can aggravate dizziness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
