Hi,
Excessive belching and gas might be related to aerophagia (swallowing of air), smoking, use of carbonated drinks or soft drinks, ill fitting denture or stomach hyperacidity. In my opinion you should look for any triggering factor out of all above mentioned. I would advise you to take antiacidity medicine like Pantoprazole or Ranitidine group of drugs with antacids for 4 to 5 days.
If you can write back to me what all medicines you are taking for diabetes, than I will be able to tell you more precisely because all these symptoms might be related to anti diabetic drugs as well. Dizziness might be related to low blood sugar level, please check your blood sugar and HBA1c level and update me the reports. You should avoid stress and anxiety in more demanding job by relaxation exercises and yoga or meditation.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask for follow up question and I will be happy to help you.
Best wishes,
Dr. B R Hudda
