I found these, hope this'd help you to figure out the figures  High blood sugar and diabetes have been reported with SEROQUEL and medicines like it. If you have diabetes or risk factors such as obesity or a family history of diabetes, ask your doctor about checking your blood sugar before starting SEROQUEL and throughout treatment. If you develop symptoms of high blood sugar or diabetes, such as excessive thirst or hunger, increased urination, or weakness, contact your doctor. Complications from diabetes can be serious and even life threatening. (Seroquel.com) In these studies, the most common Seroquel side effects included: Dry mouth -- in up to 44 percent of people (see Seroquel and Dry Mouth) Drowsiness -- up to 34 percent High triglycerides -- up to 23 percent Headaches -- up to 21 percent Agitation -- up to 20 percent Dizziness -- up to 18 percent High cholesterol -- up to 16 percent Weakness -- up to 10 percent Constipation -- up to 10 percent Fatigue -- up to 10 percent. Seroquel and Diabetes Research In clinical studies conducted before Seroquel was approved, between 1 in every 100 and 1 in every 1,000 people taking the drug developed diabetes. Since the medicine's approval, there have been several cases of extremely high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), which have led to coma or even death. It is not entirely clear if Seroquel is the cause of these cases of diabetes, however. People with schizophrenia (whether they are taking Seroquel or not) may be at a higher risk of developing diabetes. In addition, diabetes is on the rise in the general population. These factors combined make it unclear whether there is a relationship between Seroquel and diabetes. However, studies suggest that people taking the drug may be at a higher risk of developing it.
