I suggest it can be due to her diabetes too. So check her sugar and blood pressure. If she feels imbalance, unable to move legs as well also speech problem with headache and all then you need to do mri brain and see there is nothing wrong till then it's fine. But in any emergency you can always rush to hospital for further scanning and evaluation. Take care
