The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet:
high fat damages the liver

Taking a different drug to block the side effects of the first drug is likely to lead to a pyramid of drugs, side effects, and cost.

May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.
Hi,
there is certainly no harm to be tested for diabetes. All adults should actually undergo annual screening / checks.
There are two tests you can start with:-
1. Hba1c (this measures average blood sugar over the past 3 months), and is not fasting test, and
2. Fasting blood glucose.
There is also option to get a home glucose meter and test at home after eating.
It is an insulin sensitizer. Low carb / ketogenic diet combined with metformin can be a great help in managing diabetes. How is your Hba1c? Normal is ideally close to 5.0, but at least try to get lower than 6.0. If your hba1c is high then there can be many complications. Thus getting your blood sugar to normal levels should be first priority.
Telmisaran is a drug for high blood pressure. is your BP high? Losing weight and exercise (again low carb / keto diet), may help with this.
Meds are really the only way to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures, though some people have seizure triggers (flashing light, for instance) and so avoiding triggers is important for them. The ketogenic diet (an extremely low carb diet, only to be undertaken with physician approval and supervision) can help some people with seizures, but is typically tried only after several different meds have failed to provide relief.
I started a ketogenic diet on Saturday and the last few days I've been feeling gassy and have slight "cramps", around the belly button area. Why is that?
Testing your blood sugar before and after eating will let you see the effects of the food on your blood sugar.
While some people do like to snack, others just stick to 2 or 3 meals a day.
If you are trying to manage using diet, then many find that low carb eating is very helpful.
You can look for paleo, low carb, or ketogenic recipes.
Given your current situation and your extremely high blood sugars, if you want to reduce then using diet, then a very low carb diet / ketogenic diet would be the way to go. This diet however, may still not be enough to get your sugars down and you may still need insulin / other meds.
Please know that if you eat a ketogenic diet you need to follow it strictly.
Low carb, adequate protein, fat for energy balance - otherwise known as ketogenic of low carb diet. In this diet carbs are typically restricted to 30g or less per day. This diet also includes abundant non-starchy, non-sweet vegetables and plant foods.
