I'm the odd duck here. I was diagnosed with diabetes a year before being diagnosed with BP. For some reason I've been able to lose almost 100 lbs. even on Zyprexa, and my A1C is perfect. I was taken off metformin about 6 months ago and my average fasting blood glucose is 88 (normal range is 70-99). Of course, I'm sure the weight loss is responsible for my success in getting rid of the diabetes, but I also don't drink soda anymore or even eat much in the way of sweets, which helped with the weight loss in the first place.
