[QUOTE="Struma, post: 1478852, member: 244676"] [FONT=Arial]Hello David [USER=407279]@oopsupside[/USER] . I expect you may know that some commonly used drugs for bipolar disorder can occasionally predispose to T2D. The atypical antipsychotics such as Olanzepine and Quetiapine are two, and they can also trouble the blood sugars a little, having been diagnosed. Lithium is another drug which is fairly often used, but this in itself, the two main side effects are drinking more and peeing more. Of course, another problem is weight gain. Diabetes T2 can be managed, a long with weight gain, with [I]very good[/I] attention to diet Personally, I think mental health tops diabetes in importance, and would have that as a priority, and deal with diabetes as it arises. I think bipolar can be a devastating illness, diabetes T2 I managed very well and quite easily for 10 years. Obviously, these are my opinions only. [Bipolar I for 39 years, currently on Quetiapine and Lithium only] [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
