I think you should call your dr. I just started on symlin a few days ago, and my dr said that there would be some bg fluxuation while we get my insulin doses figured out in accordance with how the symlin acts with my system. Maybe your doses just need to be tweaked? Certainly don't wait the 2 weeks in misery until you have your appt. I have noticed in the last few days that I have had to do a lot more correcting, but it is in smaller doses. So, while it may feel like i'm taking more insulin, I'm really taking around 20 units less in a day than I was before.
