Risky
Studies have linked Seroquel use to diabetes, a condition that causes people to fail to properly process glucose, the chemical in the body commonly called blood sugar. The digestive tract converts the food we eat into glucose, and the circulatory system carries it throughout the body to fuel cellular respiration and growth. The pancreas secretes a hormone called insulin that allows the cells to draw out the glucose they need for energy. Some drugs, like Seroquel, increase cellular insulin resistance, which makes it more difficult for the cells to draw blood sugar out of the blood. This in turn causes unhealthy levels of sugar to build up in the bloodstream, which, if unchecked, can become fatal.

It is possible for a non-insulin-dependent diabetic type 2 to be healthy if the effort is made. Moreover, there is growing evidence that some non-insulin-dependent diabetic type twos can (through sustained effort) "reverse" their diabetic diagnoses via diet and exercise.

Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes where the individual is not fully dependent on insulin. A type 1 diabetic requires insulin.
What is the difference between a Type-1 diabetic and an insulin-dependent diabetic?
Type-1 diabetics are generally insulin-dependent, but not all insulin-dependent diabetics are type-1. Type-1 refers to how the patient contracted diabetes -- by having their pancreatic beta cells stop producing insulin, usually due to an autoimmune disorder. Type-2 diabetics became diabetic through a combination of genetic and lifestyle problems that reduced insulin production and/or increased insulin resistance. Type-2 diabetics usually begin treatment with diet changes and oral medications that increase insulin production or reduce resistance, rather than taking injections of actual insulin. But a Type-2 diabetic may become insulin-dependent over time, if treatment isn't effective. The high blood sugar can attack the pancreas (through oxidative stress and amyloidosis), reducing insulin production until even oral medications are no longer adequate.
How often does an insulin dependent diabetic take blood sugar levels during the day?
At least 4 times, especially before/after meals.
