Seroquel Research- Risk of Diabetes
Seroquel has been linked to diabetes; a debilitating, deadly disease
Recently, The Atypical antipsychotic drug Seroquel has been shown to cause
the dangerous side effect of diabetes in its users.
Seroquel has FDA and
international approvals for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute mania in
bipolar disorder and is used "off-label" to treat other disorders, such as
post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety
disorders, hallucinations in Parkinson's disease patients using Requip, and as a
sedative for those with sleep disorders.
Diabetes is a medical disorder
characterised by varying or persistent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels),
especially after eating.

All types of diabetes mellitus share similar symptoms and complications at advanced stages.
Hyperglycemia itself can lead to dehydration and ketoacidosis.
Longer-term complications include cardiovascular disease (doubled risk), chronic renal failure (it is the main cause for dialysis), retinal damage which can lead to blindness, nerve damage which can lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence), gangrene with risk of amputation of toes, feet, and even legs.
Serious complications are much less common in people who control their blood sugars well with lifestyle and medications.
The most important forms of diabetes are due to decreased or the complete absence of the production of insulin (type 1 diabetes), or decreased sensitivity of body tissues to insulin (type 2 diabetes, the more common form).
The former requires insulin injections for survival; the latter is generally managed with diet, weight reduction and exercise in about 20% of cases, though the majority require these strategies plus oral medication (insulin is used if the tablets are ineffective).
Patient understanding and participation is vital, as blood glucose levels change continuously.
Treatments that return the blood sugar to normal levels can reduce or prevent development of the complications of diabetes.
Other health problems that accelerate the damaging effects of diabetes are smoking, elevated cholesterol levels, obesity, high blood pressure, and lack of regular exercise.
