dear sir I understand your concern.there are two possibilities.due to his long term diabetes there might be chance he is getting low sugars which are triggering this kind of events.this can be avoided by heckling his sugars little offen.the next possibility he may be getting some neurological attack or can be due to allergy also......regards
