I a controlled type 2 diabetic with ocd/bipolar would like to try latuda (lurasidone).worried that it might raise glucose & i would spend all day monitoring.help!

Talk to your doctor : It is my understanding that Latuda (lurasidone) is a good choice because of it's excellent side effect profile. It has an extremely low risk of diabetes or metabolic problems compared to other medications in it's class.
