Diabetologist,  's  Response
Her blood sugar and serum electrolytes has to be monitored and corrected. Tests like serum albumin will help to find cause of swelling. Hypoglycemia (low sugar) may also cause seizures. Since she is elderly(aged 65 years), we should relax treatment goals for diabetes and try to avoid hypoglycaemia .
