Brief Answer:
Diabetic neuropathy needs to be ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of dizziness, nervousness, stiffness, body ache...
Since you are a known Diabetic on treatment we need to rule out diabetic neuropathy as a cause for these symptoms.
First thing to be done is blood tests to assess the status of diabetes. Next neurological examination is required to look for diabetic neuropathy.

Hence I advice you to consult your physician for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
