Diabeties and Epilepsy

Posted by: George K. ( USA ) on April 19, 1999 at 18:54:55:

Can anyone tell me if there is a link between epilepsy and diabeties ?
I was diagnosed with epilepsy and I am currently taking Dilantin. I am also on the Atkin's Diet (Induction Diet). When I find myself eating sugar / chocolate, or eating fruits and a lot of carbs - I get
what my nuro tells me are "auras". My diabetic friends say they get
the same feeling when they overdue it on sugar !!! So what gives, do
I have epilepsy or do I have diabeties ??? When I diabetic overdoes it on sugar, can he or she become unresponsive ? Will this look like a seizure ? Please help.
