Answer
This should be discussed with the psychiatrist treating the person.

The only thing I can suggest is for the person to also go on a hypoglycemic diet.

I also suggest that you read:

“The Nutritional Aspects of Schizophrenia” at:
”http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/news/hyponl2001_06.pdf

and go to page 7 of the Newsletter

but this should always be discussed with the psychiatrist.
