Default cellcept and elevated blood sugar

Im getting answers all over the place, so I figure let me ask here where people are on this drug and have experience with it.
I was put on cellcept, reluctant as Ive been, I agreed and went on last month.
3 weeks later, I wasnt feeling well, urinated all night long, sure enough, I was diagnosed with diabetes.
Im fat, live a sedentary life style(myasthenia doesnt afford me great strength, but I cant blame it), and I have a horrible family history of diabetes.
I questioned both my neuro and my physician.
the neuro's response was something like anything is possible, but going by my body type, and my family history, its unlikely cellcept had anything to do with it.
Physician was sort of same thought.

But this isnt my question, my own stupidity caused the diabetes.
But from anyones experience, does the cellcept raise the sugar levels in blood?

Im very frustrated right now. My vision went all blurred and today my eye doctor explained to me once the diabetes is under control(and Ive been dieting and decided to grow up and eat like an adult), it will take up to a month to get my vision back. Im extremely agitated. Unhappy.

everything I read on cellcept indicates it does raise blood sugar in 30 % of patients on it........is this all nonsense?

Im lucky I have 8 pairs of glasses for all different application so now I use my computer glasses for driving and watching tv and my readers to work the computer. I have a great eye doctor. I love the guy.
