I wouldn't know about the diabetes connection. You'd better google that.
Yes, there are ways to fight hyperprolactinemia. There are drugs who decrease prolactin levels. Dopamine agonists do, but the ergot derived ones have problems of their own - they can cause cardiac valve trouble. I think quinagolide may be a good non-ergot anti-prolactin med.
Then there is aripiprazole, also known as Abilify, which can also counter drug induced hyperprolactinemia.

Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
