Hello XXXXXX and thanks for posting the query
There are a numerous causes for dizziness/vertigo especially in diabetic patients. To give you the specific cause of dizziness. I what to know some more detail:
1. What is your sugar status at present? HbA1C or Fasting blood sugar report?
2. Any history of Cervical spondylosis?
3. Any inflammation or infection or ringing sensation in ear?
4. Any previous head trauma?
Some of the causes that are likely to be present in you are:
1. The commonest cause of dizziness is Cervical Spondylosis and can be easily treated by certain precaution.
2. You are getting your symptoms raised after exertion like massage and more importantly you are diabetic, so we have to keep in mind the arteriosclerosis vascular disease. Due to this the blood flow to the brain decreases for a period of time and causes dizziness. It may be causes due to anxiety or stress.
3. Postural Dizziness or vertigo is the other cause you have to be investigated.
All depends on your history, that what is causing the dizziness. Feel free to consult your doctor for the above said reasons and get it cured by removing the cause.
Hope this will help you. Write back if you have any other related query.
