Approximately 25 % of patients with diabetes mellitus experience different types of seizures. Hypoglycemia is one of the leading causes. Furthermore, diabetic patients who presents with diabetic ketoacidosis also have seizures more frequently. The precise pathogenesis of seizures remains undetermined.
