Anyway, I am very happy to hear your little one is doing well now...I hope he stays that way!
Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can both cause seizures in dogs. They look at blood sugar levels as a diagnostic tool since seizures can be caused by different things. If there is a lowered glucose, then they need to treat that to prevent more seizures.
