What Causes Nausea And Dizziness While On Medication For Diabetes?
75 yr old male who has type 2 diabetes and is on meds for it and high blood pressure meds also, is nauseated, light headed, and a bit dizzy. Took BP and normal for him is 140/90, an hour ago was 166/76 after just coming home from an appointment. At home right now took BS and is 200. Had chocolate marshmallows late last night so will stop eating those.
