According to the company Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc diabetics might not only make too little insulin, they also have trouble producing the hormone amylin. Without this hormone your body has trouble digesting food, and telling your brain when you are full.
As of last October, a pen version of Symlin is available, making it easy as a insulin injection to take.
Scott Johnson, who runs his own Diabetes blog, had some initial worries, but is surprised by the positive results.
“The way my blood sugar stays so flat after eating simply amazes me.” Johnson posted in his blog, “I almost chuckle in amazement when I check my blood sugars for those couple of hours. Hypnotized by something that seems downright impossible based on my previous 27 years of living with diabetes.”
I have yet to try it, but I am interested. Anyone have any experiences with the stuff?
