In reply to Serious side effect reported, posted by Ed on April 11, 2003, at 13:09:05
I Too recently read an article in a medical journal saying the same thing. I picked it up I think last week while I was waiting to see a doc, and I was concerned with what I read because my kid is on Zyprexa, and while his doc also has him on a med to help him not gain weight, I had not heard about any connection with diabetes. From what I recall it did NOT suggest the incidence of diabetes was mainly a weight issue.
**I will see if I can find this journal back at the dr's office to verify the recent article.***
>> diabetes is hardly a minor side effect no matter how you look at it. Weight gain can indeed be socially crippling, but diabetes can have some very serious medical complications.<<
