Abstract
There is increasing concern about the development of diabetes mellitus and associated complications in patients administrating second-generation antipsychotics. Previous reports indicate that the risk of quetiapine, although relatively lower, is not negligible. We report a patient with bipolar disorder who, after treating with low-dose quetiapine, develops newly-onset diabetes and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state. Clinical manifestations and managements of quetiapine associated diabetes are addressed, and we recommend routine monitoring of serum glucose after initiating quetiapine treatment at any given dose.
