Diabetic keto-acidotic (DKA) coma following olanzapine initiation in a previously euglycaemic woman and successful continued therapy with olanzapine.
We report the case of a euglycaemic woman whose glucose control rapidly decompensated following olanzapine initiation leading to diabetic coma. Hyperglycaemia has been associated with chronic psychotic disorders and antipsychotics for many years. However, it is unusual to see such rapid and life-threatening changes associated with treatment. The case highlights that changes in antipsychotic treatment may be associated with large changes in glucose tolerance, and that it is possible to continue antipsychotic treatment with appropriate diabetic care.
