Diabetologist 's  Response
there are a huge number of possibilities.
ideally you should be admitted to a hospital
The evaluation needs to be extensive
The workup needs to include cns, cvs, rs, and even blood profiles.

The differential is quite extensive.
i will just mention some impotant possibilities

this may be a case of seizures. an eeg and mri brain may help
this may be a tia. a detailed history and mri dw may help
anemia, altered electrolytes, and hypoglycemia may cause the same symptoms.
even fluid deficiency can cause similar problems.

Best of luck
Please let us know more details of other symptoms, and the tests if any
