Zoe replied to brennancassidy's discussion 'Symlin Losing Effect' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Yes, the Symlin website says the vials have already been discontinued but they predict there will be supplies available for a few months. But then, that's it."
Cheri replied to brennancassidy's discussion 'Symlin Losing Effect' in the group Symlin Users Forum"DON'T GIVE UP! It's complicated and takes time but here's the thing - you MUST wait to take your bolus. The pharmacology of Symlin is complex - basically, it is a drug-induced form of gastroparesis (delays digestion). So, think of it…"
Debbie replied to brennancassidy's discussion 'Symlin Losing Effect' in the group Symlin Users Forum"I'm frustrated , too. my BG stays super low after a meal, but then 2 hours later....BOOM...a spike of 180 and higher!! the whole point of symlin for me is to take less insulin (because you take 50% insulin bolus), but if i have to take a huge…"

Cheri replied to brennancassidy's discussion 'Symlin Losing Effect' in the group Symlin Users Forum"I should have added that I vary the amount I take based on the number of carbs in a meal - fewer carbs, lower dose - more carbs, higher dose.
So far, my max is 60, but if needed, I will certainly think about a higher dose."
Cheery Love replied to brennancassidy's discussion 'Symlin Losing Effect' in the group Symlin Users Forum"i think on the paper in the box, it says 20 UNITS per meal. at one point - a year ago, i felt i had become immune to it. i went off for a month or so then started back on. i have been very regular since then. but - i take 20 for breakfast (about…"
