> Zyprexa raises blood sugar artificialy.
I would suspect Zyprexa causes insulin resistance,
not that Zyprexa raises blood sugar itself. If blood sugar is raised that is an effect, not a cause. Look at insulin processes to find the cause.Metformin has been out for decades, making it a safe drug, in that we know its effects across millions of people over decades. If you must take Zyprexa then Metformin would be a cheap effective treatment.
However, I think no one should take AP's unless they have a psychotic condition. MAOI's and benzos are safer. Zyprexa should be kept as the last option for non-psychotic conditions. There is no proof that low doses and/or infrequent doses protect one from the movement disorders.
