It’s not quite as temperature sensitive as they claim — I think that may be true of insulin too, as Medco treats both fairly cavalierly and they are sure careful with depo.
If you do much more than 4 symlin injections in a day, you may have gastrointenstinal distress. When I asked my doctor about it (who has had years of Symlin experience), he said, “yet’. I really think that is what caused nausa at Christmas and caused diarrah one weekend.
Symlin does work well for me for turning off the hungry, even some of my emotional hungrys. However, if I use it too late or too much, I am going to be sick to my stomach in one way or another.
It doesn’t work well on grazing food. It will work on the initial food, but additional food need more insulin.
It would be better if I didn’t have eating issues and could do better at controlling carbs. Unfortunately that isn’t true.
