Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

The chances of sugars rising with rabeprazole are low. i would suggest you try plain rabeprazole. also if you are not having nausea or vomitting, domperidom can be avoided

i would suggest tab ranitidine and tab ondensetrone instead of the tablets you mentioned. but i would suggest you meet your primary doctor first cause i do not know why he started them in the first place.

have your hbA1C tested too, if not previously done

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
