Hello and welcome to HCM,
Mismatched blood transfusion does not affect brain specifically.
Mismatched blood transfusion causes hemolytic reactions in which there is destruction of the blood cells. These damaged blood cells release hemoglobin which affects the kidney.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by development of complication- diabetic ketoacidosis.
In diabetic ketoacidosis, patient can go into coma and be unconscious.
Pain in legs seems to be unrelated to the diabetic process.
The blood glucose levels need to be determined and insulin should be used to lower the blood glucose levels.

Thanks and take care
