• Diabetes

• Pancreatitis
• Hyperglycemia
• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
• Stroke
• High cholesterol
• Weight gain

The blood sugar problems associated with Zyprexa cause death in several patients due to the fact that they were unaware that they suffered from diabetes or similar health issues.
