Has anyone here taken prograf or cellcept (mycophenolate mofetil) and noticed any increase in blood sugar?

Yes: Tacrolimus can cause hyperglycemia in 5-20% of kidney transplant recipients. However, it depends on the doses given, the body size (bmi) of the patient, a strong family history of diabetes, and prior tendency towards diabetes or pre diabetes.

Yes: Prograf is potentially beta cell toxic and can induce diabetes in some patients. There could be some alternatives in some cases, discuss with your transplant physicians.
