I have had it explained to me multiple times and the dosage is so unlike insulin I just can't wrap my mind around it it. Still, if I am ever well enough to try it, I think I would. If for no other reason than to satisfy my curiousity. I hope you are able to make the decision that works best for you. Lesley, I understand your confusion.

That was probably 6 months ago or longer. It's still sitting in my fridge untouched. I wanted to try it for pretty much the same reasons as you. I've also heard it helps keep postprandial numbers more in range. However I don't do well with nausea at all so I've been afraid. I also gave up injections when going on the pump and am very sure I don't want to go back to taking them. I think I've come to the realization that I'm not going to try it. If the benefits outweigh the side effects or inconvenience, I'd stick with it. If not, maybe it's not worth it. I had asked my endo about Symlin & she gave me an rx for it.
