Have Type 2 Diabetes. Feel Dizzy, Confused. Have Frequent Episodes Of This. Treatment?

I have Type 2 diabetes. Even after eating breakfast, I sometimes become dizzy and somewhat confused. What is the root cause of this and what can I do to prevent a reoccurrence? The symptoms go away after approximately 20 minutes and I feel fine. the frequency of spells seems to be happening more frequently in the last month or so.

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

It would have been much more easier to comment if you had stated
-the drug regiment you take
-the dosage and how frequent you take them.
-your fasting blood and post prandial blood sugar levels
If you are on insulin or sulphnyureas such as glibenclamide,
it could be likely that you are having episodes of hypoglycemia which is
a severe complication as it is acute and with severe consequences.

You should meet your doctor with answers to the above questions
and for detail examination or get back to me at

with the answers so i can better help you.

Best regards
