The risk was particularly high during the initial course of treatment and was increased with the use of all antipsychotic agents.

“…Older diabetics who take antipsychotic medications have an increased risk of ending up in the hospital with elevated blood glucose levels, or hyperglycemia [74]. Conversely, treatment with the dopamine precursor L -DOPA in patients with Parkinson’s disease reduces insulin secretion upon oral glucose tolerance test [75].…”

“…In addition, non-comatose patients were asked to pass urine, which was tested for ketone bodies using a dipstick method. Patients currently using drugs that affect carbohydrate metabolism leading to hyperglycemia, such as corticosteroids, thiazides, sympathomimetic agents, and pentamidine, were excluded from the study [23]. In addition, all patients currently using antipsychotic drugs were also excluded from the study.…”
