A 2003 survey by the City's health department, found that about 17% of adults who reported symptoms of a mental illness, or about 52,000, also had diabetes and the cost of atypical-induced conditions is taking a toll on public programs. "Mental illness is itself a money sponge," the Times notes, "an expense borne largely by tax dollars."

"But that cost may be dwarfed," the Times points out, "by the bill to manage the heart attacks and amputations that diabetes bestows."

Probably because its impossible to estimate how much Zyprexa injuries will end up costing tax payers in the future, a class actions filed in New York, on February 28, 2006, requested payment for monitoring all people who have taken Zyprexa but have not yet been diagnosed with pancreatitis, diabetes or high blood sugar.

There is no telling how many people have actually died while Lilly concealed the risks and raked in billions of dollars each year. Former federal fraud investigator turned whistleblower, Allen Jones states that correlating dollars spent with deaths from side effects suggests that people may be dying at the rate of at least one death for each one million dollars spent.

Zyprexa LIES

Eli Lilly makes billions on diabetes treatment and also gets $4.2 billion a year in sales of their biggest cash cow Zyprexa which has been scandalized as *causing* diabetes as a major side effect.
