Symlin
June 28, 2005
Went to see the CDE today and since I've adjusted to Apidra we decided to add Symlin.
It's supposed to help with weight loss, and bring insulin usage down.
I picked up two vials from the pharmacy in their building.
I waited until after the CDE appointment to eat, in case we needed any labs, so I grabbed a combo at Wendy's after and took my first dose.
Type 2's start at 10 units with each meal. Also reduce insulin dosage by half. Which is what I did. I'm at 163 now, an hour later, and will keep very close tabs on blood sugar through the next few days.
The literature and CDE said to expect nausa, but so far, so good.
I'll be using the blog to keep tabs on things.
