This case report describes a 70-year-old man who presented with involuntary movements of his left arm and leg along with slurred speech. He was found to have undiagnosed diabetes with a blood glucose level of 405 mg/dL. A diagnosis of non-ketotic hyperglycemia was made. His symptoms improved with insulin treatment and blood glucose control. Non-ketotic hyperglycemia is a rare cause of chorea that results from hyperglycemia inducing mild ischemia in the putamen. Precisely controlling blood glucose levels can lead to rapid recovery from the neurological symptoms.
