A 69-year-old man suffered from hemiplegia of the left limb due to hypoglycaemia. After 3 h of oral supplementation with sugar water, the patient recovered from hemiplegia but then presented symptoms of haemichorea. To our knowledge, a case of abnormal glucose metabolism complicated with two types of motor disturbance has not been reported previously.

Article Synopsis
- A 67-year-old man with type 1 diabetes and other health issues was hospitalized after experiencing right hemiplegia and speech difficulties due to low blood sugar levels.
- After administering glucose, his symptoms resolved, but he had similar episodes three times within 10 days, typically occurring at night.
- A review of cases showed that recurrent hypoglycemic hemiplegia is more common on the right side and often happens at night; proper glucose management is crucial to prevent these episodes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the epidemiology, risk factors, and causes of altered levels of consciousness (ALOC) in patients visiting an emergency department in Somalia.
- A total of 155 patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 12 or less were analyzed, revealing that 60% were male and the average age was around 47 years.
- Key findings indicated that hypertension and diabetes were significant risk factors, with cerebrovascular accidents being the leading cause of ALOC, followed by organ failure and traumatic brain injuries.
