New-onset epileptic seizures and focal status epilepticus (SE) are serious events that may be provoked by acute symptomatic factors including life-threatening metabolic derangements. Among these, non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) is an endocrine emergency characterized by elevated serum glucose, high plasma osmolarity, and absent/mild ketoacidosis1. NKH is usually a complication of poorly-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients aged > 50 years2. Neurological manifestations of NKH vary and include headache, choreoathetosis, generalized or focal seizures, stupor, and coma3.
