I keep getting dizzy and feeling like I’m going to pass out. I was walking around in school and I suddenly just went dizzy and kept swaying from side to side. I felt like I was going to pass out for no reason

Hello there - Do you check your bloods when you feel that way? Does the experience happen after you've been exercising?

Hi, yeah I do test my sugars and it happens randomly throughout the day even if I’m just sitting down

There usually ok between 5-6 sometimes hypo and I tend to sit down and have a drink with my head on the desk
 
that sounds awful! definately get your self in contact with your diabetic nurse and let them know whats going on, they may be able to help.
 
Hi.
You may want to check your blood pressure when you stand up as I get dizzy spells when I start moving caused by blood pressure not reacting when you stand up and the blood pressure in the brain dropping and making you dizzy
