I agree with Sandman, and found this website on the possible side effects of the ketogenic diet. It is apparently not to be used in the long term, as it doesn't provide adequate nutrition for a growing child.

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.

What medication is causing your feet to fall asleep? Are you sure it's the meds? If you haven't already discussed this with your doctor, be sure to do so, since that could be a sign of something else.
