Well I've had blood work done just last month and my psychiatrist informed me that my blood work is all "within normal limits" whatever that means. I assume that means that my blood glucose is fine. Of course that's not a fasting blood glucose, but they told me Oct 27, 2008 that my fasting blood surgar was 93 I think so I'm still ok for the moment but that's pre-Zyprexa. Like I mentioned I haven't been on it that long and I do plan on asking the doctor when I see her about the lipid testing because I saw that on the website for Zyprexa.

Also I've been on antipsychotic medications (including a 6month Zyprexa history) for a little over 2 years now and my blood sugar has been fine.

The only thing is how can I limit my carbs without it affecting the rest of the family. My mom is the one who does all the cooking for the family.

Here's my daily meal:
AM: cereal (store brand corn flakes or something similar)
PM: sandwich (either cheese or peanut butter and jelly) or somethin else if there is something else available but usually the sandwich
Dinner: Is whatever Mom cooks for the evening. I can't tell her to make something different for me. I know it's for my health and I make her aware that Zyprexa does carry the diabetes and lipid warning so she does modify my plate a bit so I guess that helps.

Thanks for helping me and I hope I'm not going in circles with this but I want to make sure I'm getting things right.
