> Hi,
> maybe this makes sense. Since I take Zyprexa I got fat (was always skinny, could eat what I want), feel desperate, and have a blood sugar level which is on the lower limit (70 - 80 mg/dl). Little to no reaction when I eat a lot of pure sugar (have a blood level meter by my own).
> Pleas explain why you say that you are insulin resistant, when your level of sugar is low.(shouldn't it be high? when your body got resitand to something which has the purpose to transport the sugar into the cells and therefor the "sugar gets used up"?) maybe I am an idiot.

> rodMy brain is mush right now -- had to add trazodone 2 nites ago, had fallen into a serotonin depression from being on very low carbs - so it's entirely possible *I* have it backwards. Seems like in my reading on the web, Zyprexa causes hyperinsulism, in which everything you eat gets tagged as "store as fat." How this fits in with the terrible low blood sugar-type hunger, maybe you can explain to me! I hope -- 'cause I'm wondering if taking Glucophage with Zyprexa would reduce that symptom, as well as the excess insulin, which is so unhealthy besides making one fat.
