The question dealt with the risks to the brain after a diabetic seizure as compared to a traumatic event. My opinion is that there is more risk to the brain after a traumatic event than after a diabetic event although I have no specific medical evidence to support the notion.

Remember that unconsciousness does not need to occur for a concussion to exist. Often, after a concussion, the player/patient will only complain of a headache or repeatedly ask the same questions even though the question was answered previously. I often hear patients ask "what happened to me" even though I fully explained to them not 60 seconds earlier.

If anyone else has any questions for me on this subject I will be happy to reply to the best of my ability.
