My blood sugar is normal. I'm on it to try to help alter my metabolism a bit. The hope is to keep me from gaining more weight or even to lose some when Clozapine makes it nearly impossible to do that. My family history makes me very high risk for diabetes so we're trying to help prevent that despite my slowed metabolism.

I have not had diarrhea; the weight changes are from the effects on metabolism. In fact a side reason I take it is to help with severe chronic constipation and it has helped that a bit without there being any diarrhea.
