Routine follow-up depends on the cause, symptoms, and treatments being used.
Visits may include a review of falls or near-falls, lying and standing blood pressure, hydration, weight, nutrition, bladder function, bowel habits, skin and foot health, and medicine side effects.
The article also says
Keeping a symptom record can help.
Note when dizziness occurs, what and when you ate, bowel or bladder changes, blood pressure readings if requested, and any relationship to medicines.
Bring the record and a current medication list to appointments.
Every sign above is quoted from the sofidex article on Autonomic neuropathy. If you are not sure, err upward — it is always reasonable to be checked.
