Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
This seems that he might have Keto acidisis or pre diabetec coma.
As both kidneys are failed, he should be hospitalized and get evaluation.
After examination proper diagnosis can be made.
Ok and bye.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Extremely high or low blood sugar can cause seizures.
The seizure that your cousin experienced is likely as a result of his severe hyperglycaemia. The high blood is thought to result in increase excitability of the neurons or nerve cells in the brain which can then result in a seizure.
Seizures related to high blood sugar would respond best to medication to lower the sugar level and to fluids to rehydrate the body.
I hope this helps
