Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, you should get yourself examined for the postural drop as signs of autonomic neuropathy relating to diabetes.
Also any other signs of loss of autonomic control. Tight diabetic control may reverse the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
