I'm type II and not insulin dependent. I became diabetic when I put on 60lbs when put on Zyprexa many years ago. Combined with menopause and a fried thyroid, I've had a horrible time getting rid of the weight. I was overweight when I went on the Zyprexa, but have managed to lose about 30lbs in the past year or so.


I take Metformin to control sugar and watch my diet. So far I have no symptoms of diabetic damage (that I know of).


My A1C was only 6.5 when I was diagnosed, so barely diabetic. The last time it was tested, it was 5.7, which is "pre-diabetic".
