Hello
I'm new to the forum, but I've been reading through on and off for around a year and a half. I've never really had any problems with it, merely took everything as it happened and then asked various nurses or doctors for information and whether it was related to diabetes or not. This has worked well apart from just recently. I have a problem at present and am unsure as to whether it's related to Diabetes or not, the doctors have so far let me down so can anyone advise me as to the following:
I go to the toilet, I empty my bowels not unlike everyone else I should imagine. The problem is however, that at the time that I finnish the procedure, I stand up and find that I become light headed, not only that but I start sweating and feel quite dizzy. I immediately sit down and repeat the exercise with the same results. It feels not unlike someone has stolen my 'energy' which is what brings me here as obviously I'm concerned that it maybe linked to something more serious and therefore am looking to anyone with diabetes that has suffered this same mix of symptoms who could enlighten me as to what it is and how I can combat this problem?
Thank you for your time.
