So I took a little Symlin (15 mcg) with breakfast today and am eagerly waiting to see what’s going to happen. My breakfast was not a “major meal” as defined by the Symlin manufacturers (i.e. less than 250 calories and fewer than 30 grams carb). But since it routinely requires three times my normal insulin-to-carb ratio to cover it (perhaps because it’s yogurt and it’s morning) I figured I’d take 15 mcg, cut my insulin dose by two thirds, and see what happened.<\/p>\n
So far, I just feel a little funny — not straight up nauseated but a little gaggy and not all that excited about eating anything else at the moment. My blood sugar is holding steady at around 96, though then again, it usually takes a little bit for it to shoot up. The strangest thing was to eat first and take the insulin afterwards<\/em> — my usual m.o. these days is to take my morning dose first and wait an hour before eating. We’ll see how this goes. . . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":53098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1501],"tags":[120],"yoast_head":"\n
