I was diagnosed prediabetic on Thursday. I am on Vraylar for bipolar I. It is a miracle med for me. Google says it does raise blood sugar and puts people at risk. I was blindsided by my diagnosis while waiting for my celiac results from some blood tests. Still no celiac results. I am only 26.

I didn't know to ask what my A1C was when I got the phone call and yesterday was Memorial Day so they were closed. Today I can finally ask and then take that info to my psychiatrist and consult with her about getting on metformin (she will totally say no because I'm pretty sure it is an upper, she won't even give me Adderall and says I'm no longer diagnosed with ADHD) or see what she says about quitting vraylar. :( I don't know how I feel about ONLY adding metformin and keeping my meds the same because that is just another med to pay for and vraylar is heckin expensive this year on my new insurance.

For people who went through the same thing, (and I know they might be few and far between) did getting off of 2nd gen antipsychotics lower your A1C?
