When they looked into the seven cases of diabetes in the idiopathic generalized epilepsy group, they found that "age of onset, where available, demonstrates type 1 diabetes preceded the onset of idiopathic generalized epilepsy in...six cases."

The team suggests it is possible that some type 1 diabetics develop seizures only in response to low blood sugar or have unrecognized epilepsy with only occasional spontaneous seizures.
