Hi @landonbird - You asked a good question. It's never happened with me but I think sugar can trigger dizziness. Here's some information I found.

"Can eating sugar cause dizziness?
Doctors don't fully know the underlying cause of this condition, but they suspect that the food causes the body to release too much insulin. Insulin is a hormone responsible for processing blood sugar and lowering glucose levels. As a result, a person's blood sugar levels drop too fast and they feel dizzy."

Does eating sugar sometimes cause dizziness for you?

I have taking glemiperide, which is suddenly making my glucose crash to the 50’s.
I’ve been having light headed spells for months, and wonder if sugar is my big problem,
