To be honest, its important to eat healthy with it to offset the possible medically induced diabetes but even taking diruectics some ppl will still suffer with a moon face.

Hi Racheal-The best advice I can give you is when you are up to it to see a dietician. She helped me out and I even lost three pounds the healthy way. It's good to see one if you can anyhow as your diet needs have changed. Congratulations and best wishes!

I know weight gain is pretty much the norm with prednisone, but I was just transplanted and do nottttttttt want to blow up! Any advice besides good diet and exercise as I'm able?

my creatine number is creeping up so they are afraid my transplant is failing..As much as i dont like prednisone I am content to stay on it and even increase it if it means i keep my kidney..it has been 24 yrs. since my transplant.

Lawrence, is the Cellcept - Mycophenolate? If so then its a Immunosuppressant. If your worried about Diabetes, talk to your doctor as he/she will best advise you..

If you want some extra pounds, I've about 6st to spare? ;-)
