At the risk of coming off as a complete bitch, if I haven't already...

That's something you need to think about when you write. Sometimes you can't go with an idea you like, no matter how cool or funny you think it is, because it logically doesn't work. Yes, I realize I'm complaining about logic in a story concerning giant mutant Twinkies. No, that doesn't mean you can throw all the rules out the window. Once you've established the rules of the universe (or in this case, once the previous chapter has established them) you're going to confuse the reader if you just start ignoring them. This creates plot holes. And this is a big, gaping one. Ignoring the fact that epilepsy is caused by changes in brain chemistry, why would the Twinkies care enough about one individual human to stop her seizures? Why not just discard her and get another? And besides her seizures, if she has type 2 diabetes and is off her pills there's a good chance she'd wind up hyperglycemic.
...at any rate, it's your chapter, and you can write what you'd like to write. But try to keep a critical eye on the details.
