Dizziness....

Hi, I've been getting dizzy spells for the past 6 months or so. I've had blood tests and a 24hr heart trace on. My dr said this has ruled out some things and that it is diabetes related. I just accepted this and didn't ask how/why but I am going to ask her next time I go.
I'm type 1 and had it 25yrs so not sure where this has come from but do trust my GP so interested to see how this relates to my diabetes.

Hi I know the feeling been going on for weeks and the Dr still has no idea what's going on. I seem to be squinting a lot too and feel dizzy when I'm standing up. I went to the opticians and I've got glasses but they only for use when I'm at work and looking at the computer. How is ur breathing?
 
Hi Nicola, This is just a thought of mine but what long lasting insulin are you using????I was in a similar situation feeling lightheaded, drugged up but I was also extremely tired/fatigued and my ability while working was affected......I'd been using levemir then switched to lantus but BAD feeling carried on until I finally got myself off these type of insulins. Look up lantus problems on the forum.
 
I am on the pump so I am only on Novorapid so it's not that!
 
And even so, I was on Levemir before never lantus
 
Hi, might not fix it, but just checking you're drinking enough, (water!)?
 
Not enough sweetpea, you need to double that.
 
ask gp to check you,i had labrynthitis which ended up with me having menieres disease
 
Just a hunch Nicola.......but has the dizziness worsened since going to the gym? The dizziness might be due to your neck and the spine. Ideally, you should have your upper spine and neck x rayed to make sure that the bones are not touching on something and when you turn your head in a certain direction, the dizzy feeling starts. The dizzy feeling should not be ignored as something is causing it so see GP
