Questions about Symlin
This posting is actually for my friend, Natalie. Some of you might have seen her visiting your blog. I'm trying to convince her so set up her own blog because I'm convinced that it will help her too. I think the support from the D-OC is absolutely fabulous! Thank you!
But anyway, I'll work on that... :-)
Natalie just recently started using Symlin. I know some of you are using this as well & was wondering if you had some helpful tips and/or information for her. Her Endo put her on 5 mg to start with (twice/day) and I believe her next Endo check-up appointment is next week Thursday. He will then re-evaluate how things are going.
Can you please help her with some helpful tips, she would really appreciate that a lot. All the help is welcome. So far she's doing pretty good and has not had any side effects, as far as I know. I do believe she had some extreme lows in the beginning. She will be checking up on your comments and maybe we can all encourage her to have her own D-Blog. Yippee!!!

Hi KJ!
Natalie - I don't use Symlin, so I can't give you much help there. I wanted to comment though to encourage you to start a D-Blog.
I find it really helpful for me to get stuff off my chest and out there - and all the great support you get will really be a boost for you. I just love it. And I've never met a nicer group of people - even if it is just on the internet.
And KJ - keep plugging away at your A1C - I think 6.5 is great, but I also understand it's all relative.
I have no Symlin experience, but I'd be happy to add you to my blogroll, Natalie, if you start your own.
Come on.... ;)
I use Symlin. I'd be more then happy to help your friend. I take 15 units whenever I eat anything over 15g.
I do have to do a combo bolus whenever I use it though. Took some playing, but 20% up front, rest spread over 2.5hrs seems to be working nicely...Unless I need to do a correction at meal time too, then I usually go 10 or 15% up front.
Thank you Sarah, I'll make sure she gets it.
Have you had any experience with weight loss? I heard that's one of the positive 'side effects'?
I heard it makes some nauseaus, but if she hasn't had that problem yet hopefully she won't.
i am 16 and im 190…i wanna lose weight so bad….and im black so my mom thinks my curves look good so she doesn’t want me to lose it. at least advise on how to tighten my body cuz i like my big butt. i am going to take weight loss pills, i think it works good....
