Hi welcome to HCM. Blood pressure fluctuations are quite common in diabetic individuals due to associated autonomic dysfunction.This can cause hypotension and symptoms of dizziness of mornings.I advice you to have periodic monitoring of your blood pressure and titrate the dosages of your antihypertensive drugs.Consult your cardiologist for further queries. Thank you
