Cheri replied to Carrie1965's discussion 'whoa....' in the group Symlin Users Forum"I understand the frustration, believe me. There are some "tricks" to taking Symlin and making it work. Also depends on why you are taking it (for what goal)
More information, please - how much do you take, when, etc.? Also, are you T1 or…"

whoa....
I just took my 3rd dose of Symlin about 2 hours ago and my blood sugar shot up to 204 and I absolutely went bat-doo-doo angry about nothing and I am sitting here feeling really angry and frustrated. My BS was 144 before I ate supper, I had eaten a little chocolate egg and then we had hamburgers and a few french fries. I had taken my Lantus this morning, my usual dosage and then took Symlin with lunch and my humalog too.I am super dizzy and feel really discombobulated too. Not just the angry…See More

Carrie1965 commented on Scott Strumello's group 'Symlin Users Forum'"I called the pharm. he knew nothing :( other than this direct quote "it's sure a tiny bottle, isn't it?" Yeah... that was great.
I've got a call in to the Dr. today to find out more. I'll probably hear from him next…"
Carrie1965 commented on Scott Strumello's group 'Symlin Users Forum'"HELP! I'm kind of feeling crazy here, my doctor just added Symlin to my regimine and told me little about it. He told me that my first script of it would come with a "Welcome Pack". Which it didn't, so I'm trying to figure…"

- Hi Carrie -
Please go here to read through Jason's 3-part guide on Symlin - http://www.tudiabetes.org/profiles/blogs/a-practical-symlin-guide-for. His info was very helpful and still, I had to find how best to use it for me.
However, I would not recommend using Symlin unless you count carbs. I was really puzzled by your comment about having to "start counting carbs" - as far as I'm concerned, that's the ONLY way to truly manage your diabetes. We just have to accept that, for us, carbs are "poison." Since I took control, and went on low carb (less than 40 carbs per day) my A1c went from 8.9 to 5.4.
We can't leave our health to doctors and diabetes educators - we have to educate ourselves. What you'll learn here at TuDiabetes is that what works is not always what the docs or dietitians tell us.
I STRONGLY recommend this resource web site, as well as her book - http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/
Good luck and let me know if you need any other assistance.
