Hello !
I read your question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles she has may be related to hyperglycemia causing seizures.Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can cause metabolic seizures. The good control of diabetes would be very helpful in
I would also recommend to consult with a neurologist and have an EEG and a brain MRI to rule out possible lesions of the brain like a stroke or a tumor that can be the cause of these symptoms.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes Dr. Abaz Quka
