Seizure is a clinical event in which there is disturbance of the normal neurological function of the brain , this disturbance is caused as a result of abnormal or excessive neuronal discharge.
Seizure can therefore be divided into :
1-"NON EPILEPTIC SEIZURES" e.g ; febrile seizure in which this abnormal firing is triggered by fever.
2-"EPILEPTIC SEIZURES" ; recurrent seizures over time , in the absence of an acute cerebral insult , such as fever or acute brain injury.
Epilepsy is the underlying tendency of the brain to produce bursts of electrical impulses that disrupts other brain function , therefore a person with a single seizure doesn't mean he has epilepsy .
Epilepsy is caused by a genetic or chronic condition in the brain such as neurodegenerative disorder or a cerebral tumour,
a person with epilepsy has lower threshold for developing seizure , thus :
"Epilepsy is recurrent seizures due to a chronic condition rather than an acute cerebral insult"
"Convulsions are the abnormal involuntary contractions of muscles , that occur due to the rapid brain firing that occurs in seizures , whether they are epileptic or not"

How hypoglycemia creates seizure?
Hypoglycemia means the glucose is lower in the blood as it ideally should be. Since glucose is the only "fuel" the brain is able to use (and is a major user of), efficient supply is particularly important for the brain. Inaduaqate supply might effect the brain up to the point where seizure can occur. More information at http://en.wikipedia.org/Wiki/Hypoglycemia
