Exactly what I was about to say. I've never heard of a diabetic getting dizzy after consuming sugars/carbs.
What we tend to get is just a lousy feeling. Hard to put into words, exactly. Thirsty, and you'll tend to pee a lot more often as your body is working get all that sugar out of your blood by way of your bladder.
If you get dizzy that's more likely low blood sugar, i.e. hypoglycemia. Your body overreacts to the carbs (which include sugars). It's related to diabetes, but it's basically the exact opposite. I have a sister who's hypoglycemic. Interestingly enough she had gestational diabetes for each of her four kids.
It's a much easier disease to deal with than diabetes. You just need to watch your diet, and eat better.
