Q: Mysterious Illness - Diabetes?, Vertigo?, Low Bp?

My husband has been experiencing a variety of medical problems over the past year. Initially, he was displaying symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia. We controlled this with diet fairly well for about a month and his doctor advised him to take a liquid vitamin which also seemed to help for a little while. He then began to have high blood sugars (250 - 300). His endocrinologist put him on glycet which also seemed to help for a short time. His gp picked up on low blood pressure and advised him to increase his salt intake. This helped but again he returned to feeling bad. He currently complains of dizzy, lightheaded, drunken type feelings. The doctor is treating him for vertigo with a patch called transderm scop. The patch helps but some days my husband can barely function so he sleeps. We are trying to schedule an MRI but are fighting with the insurance company and we have an appointment to see a neurologist this week. Have you ever heard of anything like this?
