There is an article in today's New York Times, citing links between Zyprexa, Risperdal and Seroquel and an increased incidence of diabetes in younger people who would otherwise not be likely to develop it. The article mentioned how little knowledge there is on this, but did cite a Duke University study, which I think many of us read a few months ago, indicating an increased incidence of outright diabetes, but also Syndrome X and pancreatitis in patients who took atypical APs.
You have mentioned that diabetes does run in your family, but you are very young to have developed it, and it may well be reversible if you stay away from those APs completely and work with your doctor and a nutrtitionist. I do hope so, anyway!
