I take about 30 percent less of a bolus, and then use the dual wave feature, taking a 50 percent now, and the other 50 percent over 2 hours..... this week, I have not had 1 spike over 40 to 50 points after eating a meal, and no matter what my bs is down to 110 in 2 hours....
I was not too impress when I first started symlin, and after a month of side effects, and crazy blood sugars, I can actually say it was well worth it.... my sugars are constantly in the 85 to 95 range with reduced basils and boluses.... if you have an endo that wants to try this,.... and you can put up with the side effects for a bit, i'd say give it a shot...... (no pun intended)...


again YMMV but now I have better control then I have had in years.......

Way to go Paul (yes, I know you are male, lol). Keep up the good work and keep us updated. You too, Koblenz !!!!!
