Hello,
You would have measured blood sugar by a glucometer which can give a error of 50,so sugar might be more less than 98, so he is having vertigo.
vertigo in diabetics can also be because of neuropathy by long standing poor contol of blood sugar.
There are various reasons for it.
You can regularly monitor blood sugar, do check the batteries of glucometer if old,change them.
Get done SGOT SGPT PT INR and consult a physician.
