Lately, when I lower my head down to reach something and then I get up quick, I get a black out head rush for a few seconds. Not a big deal. But it now seems to happen all the time when I do bend over and get up. The nurse told me last winter that I am border line to getting Diabetes.(High sugar in my blood) So far, no fainting spells or numbness. But are these light headed occurences a sign that I am getting diabetes? I do plan to go the Doctor pretty soon about it and get another blood analysis  and see if there are any changes since last time. Maybe it's just that I need to eat more in the morning. Anybody with advice?
That happens to me all the time, I think it started happening when I was about 11.
