Any thoughts on fanapt for a diabetic with cardiac disease...or invega (paliperidone)..will they change heart rythym or raise sugar level..not familiar w/ them?

Fanapt/Invega: Yes. Fanapt could cause cardiac arrythmias and high blood sugar. Invega (paliperidone) could cause high blood sugar. The incidence of these side effects is less common or rare.
