Dizziness and weakness can be due to various reasons such as BP problems, low sugars or high sugars or low Haemoglobin (anaemia) which are the commonest causes. Because your fasting sugars are still on higher side, other reasons of dizziness need to be explored. Please consult your local physician for further tests and management m.

Thanks for the query. Blood glucose fasting 168 mg is fairly high, suggesting improper control. What are ther values like PP glucose and HbA1c%? Ideally in a well controlled diabetes fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8. Another important aspect is your excess weight, with a BMI of 32.91 kgs/Sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/Sq met). This does affect glucose control as excess fat increases Insulin resistance. Plus it also make one lazy and weak. So please consider reducing your weight by at least 5 to 8 %. That will help in better control and improve well being. Thanks.
