[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1154121, member: 211362"] Hi Libby - Dizziness can be caused by a number of things. You mentioned being sick and being stressed, one or both of these could be the culprit. It's possible you were dehydrated at the time too, that can cause dizziness. As to whether or not it is your diabetes and the metformin, you would need to check your sugar levels at the time. I had my first hypo on metformin only.... that's another possibility for you (although you said it was only for a while so maybe not). I didn't get dizziness as a side effect of metformin (I was on it for 5 years), but I did get a lot of diarrhoea and nausea. It's a good idea to discuss it with your doc though as checks should be done. (eg. you may have low iron... I have iron malabsorption and that is one of the symptoms I get when too low... after the infusions I'm good) [/QUOTE]
