My girlfriend, who is diabetic, recently had an episode in her sleep that I have come to believe was a seizure. She woke up in the middle of the night trembling and unresponsive. I thought it had something to do with her blood sugar being low, so I gave her some orange juice. Gradually, she came around, not really knowing what had just happened. I assumed that this was related to her diabetes and the fact that we were both pretty stressed out (this was on the night of Sept 12, just after the terrorist attacks in NY and DC). Since that night, I have not slept very well, waking up several times during the course of the night just to check on her. I'm afraid that I haven't let her sleep soundly through the night since then. However, I have been noticing that she is twitching a lot in her sleep, especially just as she goes to sleep and in the morning. I could be just noticing something that has always happened because I am obsessing on her sleep patterns. Her doctors tell her that she is their best diabetic patient and she is otherwise healthy.
1. Is it likely that the seizure was connected to these twitches?
2. Could I be making these twitches worse by not allowing her to sleep soundly through the night?
