A seizure occurs as a result of a burst of simultaneous, contradictory signals from brain cells. There are many causes of seizures including head trauma, fever, illness. Hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) both can cause seizure, convulsion, coma, and even death.
During a seizure a person is unaware of their surroundings even if they may seem alert on some level. If the seizure is a result of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) do not attempt to feed the person who can easily choke on food and drink. Instead, give a shot of glucagon and call 911 if necessary.
Generalized seizures can have any of the following characteristics:
Can, but do not always causes violent convulsions
Muscles may twitch, jerk, or slowly become rigid (clonic seizures)
Loss of muscle tone (tonic seizures)
Can affect involuntary body movement and function (clonic seizures)
Alter sensation, awareness or behavior
May involve numbness in part(s) of the body
Result in brief loss of memory
Manifest as detecting a strange odor (when there is none), seeing flashes of light, or sometimes feel like a panic attack
Can last a few seconds or result in a continuous seizure that does not stop without medical intervention

They probably cause stress on the body. Stress raises blood sugar.
