son (9) received blood results. his insulin and sugar have increased dramatically over the past 4 mos. he is taking seroquel (50 mg 2x a day). he is heavy. in the past there were high readings on thyroid producing hormone. they were normal at this testing. his thyroid readings are always normal. we are going to redo the fasting blood test. diabetes does run in the family. any thoughts?

It's a good thing they are testing this every few months.

we're going to retest and probably wean him off seroquel. seroquel has been fantatic for him til now.

thanks for taking the time to google. my brain isn't settled enough to do that yet. i read all the info that comes with meds and this was a side effect with low probability.

i'll post with the new results when i receive them.
