I keep having dizzy spells all the time...

And these dizzy spells don't just happen because i stand up really fast or something. They just... happen O.o. And i almost can't move for being sick when they happen for almost 2 minutes.

I've always had a fondness for sugar... I'm well known for it, im very uneducated in the way of diabetes and know very little about it except dizzy spells can be a symptom...

Any ideas?

SEF, you need to see a doctor. We don't diagnose diabetes here. You will have some blood tests to determine whether or not you are diabetic. Dizziness can be from many different conditions. Does diabetes run in your family?

I agree with Lanie SEF you should go to your doctor and let him do the tests that can help to see if you do have diabetes.

There a hundreds of things that can cause dizziness and only a doctor can determine what the cause or causes are. Issues with blood sugar are only one of the possible causes and any nausea you feel could easily be caused by the vertigo as it could be a symptom of the underlying issue or the other way around.

Make an appointment as soon as you can and I would suggest starting a log of when these episodes happen. Write down the time of day, what you were doing before the episode, everything you can recall during it, how long it lasts, what makes it better if anything, etc and take the log with you when you see the doctor.
