What Causes Migraines And Vertigo While Suffering From Diabetes?

My husband has had type 2 diabetes for 10 years now. He is taking 1500 mg metformin 2x a day and glipizide 10mg 2x a day also. Lately, his sugars have been running in the 300 range and he is getting migraines and having problems with his balance. This usually happens around mid day everyday and continues through the night. The pills no longer seem to be lowering his sugar at all. He is having to use the bathroom frequently and is alway really tired. He has a doctor appointment on Monday but, I was wondering if there is anything we can do to help lower is sugars right now so hopefully, he will feel a little better.

Visiting a doctor monday would be apt. Diabetes is not at all related to migraine per say,though I would suggest you to check your BP wisely .
About his treatment he is already taking higher doses of tabs mentioned without control,I would suggest you to go for newer drugs like gliptins as an add on to it and make a proper diet calorie chart for him for better result.Get his A1C checked
