What Causes Severe Dehydration And Dizziness?
My daughter has been suffering from migraines for about 2 years. She has been through lots of testing and is currently on medication along with doing botox treatments every 3 months. She has recently been feeling very dehydrated and light headed and having body aches. Could she be diabetic? Her dad was diabetic.

Hello,
The body aches and dehydration and lightheadedness are relatively related to diabetes and she could get tested for diabetes. She can do fasting glucose levels, postprandial glucose levels and HbA1c.
Also thyroid hormones T3, T4 and TSH levels should be tested. Do also a blood count because iron deficiency anaemia is possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
