Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Your symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision and difficulty in standing and working could be due to abnormally high (hyperglycemia) or abnormally low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). In a diabetic, any infection can result in the sugar levels to become erratic and uncontrolled. The recent diarrhoea and cold could be a reason for your sugar levels to have become erratic.
You haven't mentioned if you are on medication or insulin for your diabetes. If you are not on any medication or if you have not been taking medication regularly, then you should start taking regular medication. I would suggest that you see a doctor to have your sugar levels checked and have a proper evaluation done.
Best wishes,
Dr. Sheeba Stephen
