Hi, Thanks for reaching out! Quetiapine (Quitipin) is known to increase blood sugar in some patients. Since your treating doctor is unavailable, please consult a psychiatrist or endocrinologist soon for tapering or switching options. Alternatives like aripiprazole or lurasidone may have a lower metabolic risk, but any change must be supervised. Meanwhile, monitor blood glucose, maintain a diabetic-friendly diet, and don’t stop medication abruptly.
