Few considerations:: 100mg is a small dose and less likely to cause DM/metabolic syndrome. But it can- the good news is they is easily measurable, by tracking your BP, blood sugar, hemoglobin A1C (a simple blood test) you can see if you're becoming at risk. A bigger issue is you shouldn't need seroquel (quetiapine) to sleep every single night. Consult your doctor, you likely have some bad habits.
