Duke Warning: Zyprexa-Diabetes Link
On July 1, 2002, Duke University issued a Press Release about the most [recent
finding that links the new anti-psychotics to early onset diabetes.] The team of
researchers--Elizabeth A. Koller, M.D. from the FDA, and Murali Doraiswamy, M.D.
from Duke-- analyzed FDA's adverse drug report database, MedWatch (which receives
10% of adverse drug reports). They identified 289 cases of diabetes in patients
who had been prescribed olanzapine (a.k.a. Zyprexa), Eli Lilly's most profitable
drug.The researchers reported: "Of the 289 cases of diabetes linked to the use of
olanzapine, 225 were newly diagnosed cases.
-------------------------------
From what I've read, its likely the diabetes came first, probably from Geodon or
Zyprexa, which then caused the periodontal disease.
-------------------------------(Another possibilty, you'd have to look at your timeline)
CHICAGONovember 3, 2009Clinical guidelines from the International Diabetes
Federation (IDF) emphasize the importance of periodontal health for people with
diabetes. Diabetes affects approximately 285 million people worldwide, and this
number is only expected to increase. The IDF is an organization of 200 national
diabetes associations from 160 countries.
The IDF oral health clinical guideline supports what research has already
suggested: that [management of periodontal diseasewhich affects the gums and
other supporting tissues around the teethcan help reduce the risk of developing
diabetes] and can also help people with diabetes control their blood sugar
levels.Studies have suggested there is a two-way relationship between diabetes and
periodontal disease, and the IDF guideline outlines helpful guidance for health
professionals who treat people living with and at risk for diabetes.So, it looks like its also possible that periodontal disease is a risk factor for
developing diabetes.~Jade
