Q: Sugar Containing Foods Causing Dizziness.

asked by: tone501 on December 8th, 2004

New User

I have been a type 1 diabetic for over 24 years.
I have been having problems with extreme dizziness after I eat milk and/
or sugary food products.
I sometime have low blood sugars and not have dizziness till after I eat some form of sugar to correct the lows.
I need some help on this,i understand that neuropathy can cause this.
I asked my doctor and he said to see an ear specialist.
I think that can be hogwash.
I need answers to why the dizziness after sugar foods.
Hope someone out there can help

can't say for sure, but you should ask for a glucose test and an a1c test of your blood. And, this may sound simple, but if sugar is causing an adverse reaction, stop eating it. It's easier said than done, as I have been a sugar and carb addict my whole life, but I am purging myself of all that crap, and I feel tons better, and don't feel like i've really missed anything.
