What if I eat a large meal, one that has more than 250 calories or 30 grams of carbohydrate?
Your dose of SYMLIN does not change based on how much you eat. As long as you eat a meal of at least 250 calories or 30 grams of carbohydrate, you will take the dose of SYMLIN your healthcare provider prescribed. What you eat can greatly affect your blood sugar levels. Healthy eating should be part of your overall diabetes management plan. While taking SYMLIN, you may notice that you feel full sooner at meals or that you snack less. This is normal. It is one of the ways that SYMLIN works to control your blood sugar levels. Work with your healthcare provider to make a healthy eating plan that is right for you. Learn when to take SYMLIN.
