Has Anyone Ever Heard From Your Primary Doctor Or Neurologist That Seizure Medications Raise Your Blood Sugar?
I feel as if I have been lied to by medical professionals.

I went to my primary doctor last week on Friday and got told that the seizure medications cause a person's blood sugar to rise. My primary doctor told me this and find it quite odd. I don't eat a whole lot and she is trying to have me take an injection of Ozempic. I try to watch my… read more
