TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

My doc's talked about symlin, and now that it's in a pen, I figure I should see what it can do for me. I know everyone's experience is going to be different, and I was wondering how long it's taken others to get accustomed to amylin being re-introduced to your body and the nausea to pass. 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks? 4-8 weeks? Did anyone experience no discomfort, or so much they gave up?
Does it help A1C's much?

I'm in a similar boat. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday and I hope to start Symlin by this weekend. I too would like to know how long does it take to adjust. Is it like starting using a pump all over again where we shouldn't eat carbs for a couple of days to figure out where our BS's will be? But of course, we have to eat carbs because if we eat less than 30g of carbs, no Symlin?!? Do most people follow that rule? Often times, I don't eat 30g or more of carbs in a meal. Thanks for any and all advice.
