Hello,
Your husband is suffering from
dizziness and imbalance. He is a diabetic. His blood pressure is not low, blood sugar normal. He had an MRI to rule out ear and brain problems. Several conditions that cause dizziness can be related to
diabetes. Consider monitoring blood sugar, diet, and type of food consumed.
Your husband is advised to take home made healthy diet, do exercise as recommended, and take his prescribed medications by his treating doctor. A loss of balance, dizziness or fall can be indicative of vestibular problems or neuropathy. He should get clinically examined by a
Neurologist & an ENT. He may need medications. He is suggested not to drive or do any heavy work. He should be at rest.
He should be mindful of the medications he has been taking. As medication for blood pressure or water retention, can drop both the blood pressure and potassium levels, causing dizziness. Side effects of other medications such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and non-steroids can also cause dizziness. He should avoid taking medicines that are not required.
Hyperglycemia cause complications like damaged organs, damaged blood vessels, nerve and eye damage, etc. Blood sugar level should be maintained at all cost.
Dehydration may cause
blurred vision, headache, dizziness, etc. He should not skip meals.
Hypoglycemia may cause neurological issues. He should get Nerve conduction velocity tests done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
