I have Type 2 diabetes and I use meclizine(over the counter Bonine)whenever I get dizzy spells from blood sugar instability. It helps a lot. It should be safe but there are side effects to consider (drowsiness is something I've experienced but it was tolerable). If unsure about dosage consult your doctor.
