Symlin and a mixed insulin? That is nothing but deadly in my opinion. It will be IMPOSSIBLE to have good numbers on that. And here's why....

Symlin is short acting and made to work with the short acting insulin in the mixed insulin. Therefore you need to cut that short acting down. Well, when you cut that down you cut the long acting down as well meaning you are going to go high hours later. There's no way to fix that.

You need to talk to your doctor about a true MDI regimen of one long acting insulin shot a day and multiple short acting shots of Humalog. Also, a type 1.5 is not initially insulin resistant.

I would talk to your doctor a little more.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
