Zyprexa and Hyperglycemia

By: S.Burns

Hyperglycemia is a rise of glucose (concentration of sugar) in one’s bloodstream. The material is created through the digestion of carbohydrates. Cells in the body combine glucose with blood oxygen to stimulate all cell processes. Insulin is a hormone secreted through the pancreas that extracts sugar from the blood and moves it into the cells. When the body becomes resistant to insulin it can’t extract the sugar and causes hyperglycemia.

This condition is most often seen in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. When hyperglycemia progresses it can create severe dehydration and cause the blood to become thick like syrup. If not taken care of this can result in blindness, renal failure and even death. An increase in glucose levels over time may cause ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar syndrome and sometimes a coma. Studies have shown Zyprexa creates an increased insulin resistance which inhibits extraction of glucose from the blood and ultimately leads to hyperglycemia.

Side effects like hyperglycemia are an unfortunate (and unfair) consequence of taking a prescription medication. You shouldn’t be held responsible for your suffering!
