It's still under: ...investigation. People who are treated for depression with medications like Luvox (fluvoxamine), (fluvoxamine) an SSRI, are also more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than people who aren't. However, it's not known whether Luvox (fluvoxamine) contributes to diabetes or if another factor common to both diabetes & SSRI use is involved. Regardless, you should get routine screening tests based on your age and other risk factors.
