Seroquel: Type 2 Diabetes

Children, Teens and Young Adults Under the Age of 25 at risk for sudden onset Type 2 Diabetes

Weitz & Luxenberg's Seroquel lawyers are currently speaking to families of Seroquel patients whose child or young adult (aged 25 or younger) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after being prescribed Seroquel to treat their mental health issues.  You can obtain vital information about your legal rights and options by completing the form on this page.

Please note: Weitz & Luxenberg is providing information about Seroquel and a number of physical and mental health-related side effects that may have been linked to the use of Seroquel. However, the firm is only considering cases in which a child, adolescent or adult aged 25 or younger was prescribed Seroquel and developed Type 2 diabetes or other serious health problems.

Since Seroquel was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the drug has been prescribed to tens of thousands of older children, adolescents and adults suffering from a number of behavioral, emotional and mental health disorders.

Tragically, many Seroquel patients have been diagnosed with serious physical health problems that have been linked to their use of Seroquel. In particular, many teenagers and young adults have developed sudden onset Type 2 diabetes, an illness that requires a lifetime of vigilant attention to general health, diet and physical activity. It also requires strict adherence to blood testing and medications in order to treat their disease and maintain normal levels of insulin and blood sugar levels. Seroquel causing diabetes is just one of the drug's many side-effects - for legal consultation contact Weitz & Luxenberg.

Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes (often called adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes) is a chronic disease that affects more than 23 million children, teens and adults in the United States. The disease causes the body to be unable to control normal levels of insulin and blood glucose (blood sugar) levels.

There is no cure for Type 2 diabetes, but the disease can be treated with careful monitoring of insulin and glucose levels, taking daily diabetes medications and monitoring of diet, weight and exercise.

Type 2 diabetics also face risk factors for other complications, including

 

  • Increased risk for skin, mouth and gum problems.
