I have uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and an STD. What parts of the body would diabetes never affect directly, and how does diabetes affect the genital area?

I am taking Hydrochlorothiazide, Benicar, and Atenolol and experiencing lightheadedness. How long have you been using Atenolol? Has it helped at all? Are you currently using any other medications in addition to what you've mentioned? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? My blood pressure is running about 135/70. Why am I getting lightheaded occasionally? What do you mean by lightheaded? I feel very lightheaded for about two seconds, and then I go blank for about ten seconds. Of course, if I am standing, I fall down. Does your doctor know about this? She is not sure what is causing the problem, we are wondering if my meds are in conflict. The lightheadedness occurs the same time, after I have exercised so wondering if it is caused by low blood sugar?

I have had red, itchy eyes for 2 days. The itchiness comes and goes, and I have no known allergies. I was exposed to bleach fumes a week ago and recently had contact with my grandson who had a cold but no pink eye. I have tried over-the-counter natural eye drops for red eyes, but they don't help much. What could be causing this and what other treatments should I consider?
