Hi,
dizziness in a diabetic patient is generally due to diabetic neuropathy. Damaged nerves can frequently result in posture associated fluctuations in the BP that makes you feel dizzy and at the same time, can result in abnormal peristaltic movements in the gut causing bloating sensation in stomach.
Hope this helps.
