Question
I have been using
Novolog
in my
insulin pump
for the past three years and have not been successful in
attaining very good control. I am interested in learning how effective
Symlin
is in an insulin pump on
postprandial
blood glucose levels.
Answer
Symlin has not been approved for use in insulin pumps,
so trying it as you suggest
would be "off-label."
You'd need to discuss this with your physician.
