Diabetes can cause neuropathy or disturbances to the nervous system, which can lead to bizarre symptoms like giddiness. Giddiness experienced by diabetics can vary from minor to frightening. The complications of diabetes and misinformation about them can further disturb those affected. Repeating a mantra or name of God (Namasmarn) and drinking water to induce vomiting may help alleviate symptoms of giddiness in some cases. Long term, vitamins B, C and herbal supplements like chyavanprash may strengthen the nervous system. While feeling helpless is common, focusing on God's name through Namasmarn may help cope with difficult situations.
