My father is a type-2 diabetic who just completed his sixth cycle of Vidaza treatment. The very first cycle he had sever nausea - since then each day along with Vidaza he has Granicet injection which completely controls his nausea.
In his case, it is the other way around w.r.t Diabetes - we have to watch out for hypo glycemia - a couple of times his blood sugar has dropped to low levels - hence during days of Vidaza administration he tries to maintain slightly elevated sugar levels than normal.
