Comparison of Glycemic and Metabolic Control in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes With and Without Antipsychotic Medication: Analysis From the Nationwide German/Austrian Diabetes Survey (DPV)

Abstract

This analysis from a real-life survey demonstrated that subjects with antipsychotic medication had worse glycemic control and a higher rate of acute complications compared with those without antipsychotic medication. Health care teams caring for youth with type 1 diabetes taking antipsychotic medication need to know about these findings. We suggest monitoring metabolic risk factors as well as providing diabetes education about prevention of acute complications.
