Though duration and frequency are the most important factors in determining the causes of dizziness, having cough along with it narrows it to BPPV / viral labyrinthitis.
For a proper evaluation kindly book a consultation.

Dizziness that occurs both while standing up and when turning in bed often suggests two related issues: orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drop on standing, common in diabetes) and a positional inner-ear component like BPPV. The concurrent cough could also indicate an underlying viral or respiratory infection leading to mild dehydration, which worsens postural symptoms.
Next Steps
Please check her blood pressure both sitting and standing, log fasting and post-meal sugars, and schedule a consultation with me on Practo so we can evaluate her symptoms and review her prescriptions.

Hello Ma’am Aapke symptoms mein dizziness ka pattern important hai—especially agar khade hote waqt aur bed par side change karte waqt dizziness trigger hoti hai. Iske different causes ho sakte hain, jaise positional vertigo, BP ka sudden drop, dehydration ya blood sugar fluctuation. Diabetes ki history hone ki wajah se BP aur blood sugar ko bhi consider karna important hai.
Aap chahein to online consultation mein apni symptoms ki duration, dizziness kis movement se trigger hoti hai, BP/sugar readings aur current medicines share karein. In details ke basis par main aapko further evaluation aur treatment ke liye appropriately guide kar sakti hoon.
Health Tips
Aap filhaal suddenly bed se na uthein, adequate fluids lein aur dizziness ke time driving/akela chalna avoid karein. Agar dizziness baar-baar ho rahi hai, to proper evaluation zaroori hai.

It can be due to generalised weakness. Give her coconut water, fruits, and frequent diet.
It can also be due to cardiovascular causes, if her diabetes has been untreated for a long time.

Dizziness when you stand up or turn over in bed can point to a drop in blood pressure, which is common alongside diabetes.
Next Steps
Please get your blood pressure checked sitting and then standing, and have your sugar reviewed by your physician.
Health Tips
The cough is worth mentioning separately at that visit, since it may need its own evaluation.
