help with seizures

[franzeska]

hi there,
i ve been having undiagnosed seizures for the past nine years since i had my first child,(read profile to get full story) ive only just been referred to a neurologist now as the doctors ive had in the past have been useless. but lately they have got worse i'm having partial seizures at least 3 times during the day and am also having blood sugar issues.it is rising very quickly up to 16mmol 15 mins after eating a meal and
dropping back down to 5.5 within the next 10 minutes. i have had hypo episodes where i have been very unwell and its gone down to 3.3 and lower.
do you think this could cause the partial seizures?
(i have do not have diabetes)

i have to wait months to see a neurologist any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hello franzeska

You are warmly welcomed

There is some great reading here on CWE that covers this subject.

Maybe you could do some research and see if there are any diet changes you could already try. Been a long wait for you, sorry to hear that..

Hi franzeska, welcome to CWE!

There can definitely be a link between low blood sugar and seizures. Both generalized and partial seizures can be symptoms of hypoglycemia. Is there any chance you can see a dietician or nutritionist soon? Depending on the kind of hypoglycemia you are experiencing, there may be dietary changes you can make that will help.

Best,
