I have been wondering if I should try symlyn. I feel constantly hungry when I take insulin and I've heard symlin can help with that. I have always been one to eat constantly, usually small meals and snacks. And I have had ibs for years, I'm not sure how that will affect that.

Every time I take insulin even for a correction I feel I have to eat something again.

I am worried about throwing something else in the mix though when I don't feel I've totally figured out the insulin thing yet to my satisfaction.

Do you think this could help me? I don't want to take this to lose weight, although if I end up gaining too much on insulin at some point I might I guess.

Day four of Symlin. I stepped up to 30mcg today, and so far, no real issues with lows or with nausea. I did cut my dinner insulin a little close tonight, though. Will have to be more careful with that.

Symlin has definitly helped me lose weight and has helped with fluctuations in blood glucose. My A1C has always looked good but that is because i've experienced lots of lows in the past. I am currently training to run for an 8 mile race. I have found that Symlin and exercise can be tricky but I gradually figuring it out. My goal is to keep myself below 200 and keep myself from getting an actual low. My cgms helps with this.

I am thinking about taking Symlin. I am currently on the pump and doing good. I have lost 14 lbs so far with dieting and exercising and my A1C has went down. I am wondering did yall get good results with losing weight and better A1C's?

I started taking Symlin recently and I've been waking up with higher blood sugars. Has anyone else experienced Dawn Phenomenon on Symlin?

Does anyone know why this happens? I saw the Symlin icon come up on the page meaning there had been activity, so I clicked on it. Up top it says "last activity 11 minutes ago" but when I look the last post is 6 days ago (mine :)). Could it be from somebody joining the group?

So I had my first Dr apt yesterday sense I got my symlin and have only had it for a little under a month. My a1c is down from a 7.6 to 7.4! I am so happy with it and con not wait till my next a1c because it will be so great with the help of the symlin.

My Endo just prescribed Symiln to help me reduce my insulin intake and maybe lose weight, but it's SO expensive I'm not sure I can do it... With my current insurance, I have to pay 20% which would be about $350/month! (And I'm currently job hunting so I have zero income.) Is it really worth the cost?

I just started taking Symlin this week and I really am having a good experience with it. I am thankful for the tip about the support group too. I joined last night and I also learned a lot just reading the site. Thanks.
