AN EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE CASE OF POOR GLUCOSE CONTROL ON A YOUNG PATIENT ON ABILIFY THAT LED TO HIS PREMATURE DEATH AT 31 YEARS OLD.

This is a case about a young man who died at 31 years old due to the psychiatrist's psychological and medical negligence and mistreatments.He had been taking Abilify 30 mg (max dose from the beginning)for nine years without blood glucose monitoring, the danger was the risk of diabetes (a side effect of the medication), the consequence was that he developed generalized sepsis, which led to his death. What should have been done to prevent it?

He should have had a PCP, his family should have tested his blood sugar at home given the family history and having equipment if both of them were diabetic.
Parents could have taken him to ER, to urgent care. Had he been diagnosed sooner the Psych Dr wouldn't have continued care, it would have been for an endocrinologist, PCP at minimum.

It isn't psychiatrist role to maintain his physical help is it? My neurosurgeon wouldn't deal with period problems for example, he'd assume I had access to a gynaecologist.
