Answers:
She may be accidentally overdosing on her insulin and her blood sugar may be going too low. When she starts acting that way, see if you can get her to test her blood sugar. If it is below 70, then her brain is trying to signal she is low on blood sugar. Get her some orange juice, and then try to get her to eat a snack that includes some meat, especially salmon or tuna, if possible.

I don't know about Parkinsons' disease, but Alzheimers has been found to occur with diabetics, too.

That's not the diabetes, or the medication for it. That is senility, it happens in old age.

The diabetes probably has nothing to do with any of those symptoms unless she's not managing her blood sugar very well. My mom was on blood pressure medication and I'm sure that was more of a factor than her diabetes. Learn more health stuff here: http://www.chetday.com
