Diabetic chorea accompanies hyperglycemic states or drastic changes in blood glucose levels and involves the acute onset of unilateral or bilateral choreatic movements. Diabetes is sometimes discovered due to diabetic chorea, and thus, diabetic chorea is considered an important neurological complication.
