Sharon replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Hi Debbie,
I have the same problem. I found that injecting symlin first and then my Apidra(mealtime insulin) 60 minutes later seems to cover that post 2hour spike. Since symlin slows digestion it seems to effect the BG levels at a slower rate,…"
MaureenH replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"I did notice that when I posted the information. Tonight I even passed out copies of part I to pump group members in Baltimore, MD. I gave credit to Jason. Someone asked about the part 2 and 3 and I sent them to Tu Diabetes, but it is not easy to…"
MaureenH replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Debbie,
I did discover there is a real problem with eating late. I was in New York for Easter and we ate about 9:30 p.m.. With the symlin that meant my rise was about 11:30. I was in bed by then and very discouraged to see a BG of close to 300. I…"
MaureenH replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Your answer is interesting. I have been taking half the insulin up front, no square wave or I go low, and then the other half plus perhaps a little more at exactly 2 hours. You also mention the two hour mark. Maybe doing the insulin at the end of…"
Aaron replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Maureen,
I did, in fact, figure out a rule of thumb for myself. I treat the Symlin as having full efficacy for about two hours. I then basically treat the Symlin like it loses about half of its efficacy every 40 minutes of the next two hours…"
Aaron replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Maureen,
The blog posts weren't written by me. They are just links I too found very useful when I started to use Symlin. I would certainly advocate greater dissemination of the information, but it ought not be attributed to me.
Thanks."
Debbie replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"thats the problem Im having, but It is not easy for me to bring down the high after the 2 hours...arghh, very frustrating."
MaureenH replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Debbie,
I think this is the way symlin works. It delays the digestion but two hours later you will have the rise. I find like you that the BG goes up two hours after a meal. I just bolus then, and do about 1/2 of the bolus I didn't give before.…"
Debbie replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"I am fairly new to symlin and still learning about it...I use 1/2 the insulin before a meal and inject 30 mcg of symlin right before the meal. for two hours, everything goes smoothly and then BOOM....I get a spike of 190-223 after the 2 hours!! so…"
MaureenH replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Aaron,
Your blog part 1 is the best I have read. Is it alright if I post this to another list, the one for CGMS pump users. Maybe I will also post it to the insulin pumpers list. I will add your name and information as the author. thank you for all…"
Zoe replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Thanks for posting this Practical Guide, Aaron (and thanks to the person who wrote it). I rarely read blogs but I have a feeling as I start on Symlin this one will be very useful!"
MaureenH replied to Aaron's discussion 'Duration of Symlin Effectiveness' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Hello Aaron,
Since your post is from January I am sure you have figured out exactly how much insulin/symlin to take when. I have only been using symlin for 5 weeks. I am type 1 with pump and CGMS. I take 45 mcg now and about 60% of insulin before…"
