Also, I find it odd that you say type 2s can use Symlin without insulin and that nothing is wrong with your dosage yet it's not working for you and the company's website says to be used with insulin and that the max recommended dosage is 20 units.  Just puzzles me there. |
Obviously you are misinformed then. Type 2 diabetes is not just one diabetic malfunction. There can be insulin resistance, mine is. There there can be a dying off of insulin producing cells mine also is. There can be problem with the Liver processing glucose a problem I may be having as well. The immune system can attack the iselts of langerhands. The only thing that differentiates them is that Type one or Juvenile Onset diabetes is a total non functioning pancreas early in life. Type 2 more times than not will revert to total insulin dependence, it just develops later in life as mine did. Both of these versions of the disease (dysfunction) are progressive. the type 1 type 2 are used to differentiate if this was early onset, or adult later onset diabetes. Nothing more. Type one BTW is always insulin dependent. Type 2 will most likely progress to insulin dependency but that won't make it Type 1.
And if I could figure out the rationale of why my doctor's nurse practitioner put me on this stuff then I would probably not be in this fix. I plan to get documentation on what she was talking about when I speak to her Monday.
