Sažetak
A higher incidence of insulin dependent (IDDM) as compared to non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) diabetic patients suffering from epilepsy was observed at the Clinical Department of the Vuk Vrhovac University Clinic for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases in the 1993-1994 period. Ketoacidosis or hyperglycemia causing unconsciousness and convulsions were not reported. Case histories included epileptic seizures accompanied by hyperglycemia in two, hypoglycemic effects in four and normal glycemia values during the epileptic attack in five patients. Test results showed focal EEG changes in three patients, others had normal EEG findings. The incidence of epileptic seizures was defined individually and ranged between 1 and 4, mostly nocturnal attacks per year. The efficacy of antiepileptic therapy increased when accompanied by good control of glycemia.
