everyone has given you some great advice in these posts. I would add getting your vitamin D levels checked. People with sugar problems and chronic pain often times have a difficult time maintaining healthy levels. Be sure to take at leats 2000iu of vitamin D3 which absorbs better than regular d. feel better...

Not eating well and getting anaemic can also make you feel tired and dizzy so it would also be a good idea for you to get a blood test done for anaemia.

Congestion of the Eustachian tube and sinuses can also cause ear problems and make you feel unstable.  To help loosen up the congestion in the sinuses and Eustachian tube, do steam inhalations.  In a bowl pour boiling water from the kettle, put some Vick or Olbas oil into the hot water. Take care not to get scalded.  Bend your head over the bowl of water and cover your head and the bowl with a towel.  Breathe in the steam through your nose and out through the mouth.  Do this 4 times a day for a duration of 10 minutes each time.

Having any type of chronic pain will also make you feel very tired and exhausted.  Pace yourself throughout the day so as not to do any physical things like cleaning all in one go.  Do a little a then rest and so on.  Overdoing things one day will make you feel much worse the next day.   Still do gentle exercises so as not to get stiff.

With hypoglycaemia it is very important for you to eat small meals regularly.  Cut out on sugary foods that will give you a high quickly, but then the sugar levels will drop quickly too.  Eat foods that are complex carbohydrates like porridge, fresh fruit and vegetables, wholemeal bread.  These foods are slow release energy foods.  Rather than have biscuits and chocolates as a standby for when you get a low, carry fresh fruit or vegetables like celery and carrots, nuts, yogurt, so that you can have a healthy snack in between meals.

Living with pain every day does take its toll on how we feel emotionally.  Any stress and anxiety and depression will exacerbate any pain too.  
Have a chat with your doctor with regard assessing you to see if you do have depression.  

Also get your blood tested for hBA1C levels to find out your average sugar level over a 12 week period.  Ask the doctor to refer you to a dietician so that they can teach you how to manage your blood sugars properly.

Stop drinking DIET sodas!!  They contain ASPERTAME which is a poison!  You may have aspertame poisoning.  Please look it up online!
    I take Essiac (a tea from the health food store) also available in capsule form.  It helps my back tremendously and my  Fibromyalgia.  (I have no discs left and very little pain).
