Abstract
Exacerbation of diabetes mellitus is a possible side-effect of quetiapine, with published reports of associated diabetic ketoacidosis.1 As noted by Futoshi Shintani, quetiapine is contraindicated in Japan for diabetic patients; unfortunately, the patient we discussed in our Case Report had been prescribed the drug by a psychiatrist before admission to our hospital. Needless to say, we discontinued this medication immediately.
