Dear sir i can understand your concern.usually insulin over dose will present more with sweating,giddiness,unable to walk and palpitations.But your father symptoms looks like stroke for me.
This kind of attacks are called transient ischemic attacks.
As you are telling that dad is long term diabetes.i suggest you meet neurologist immediately and take his opinion.
