"Symlin, for me, has allowed proper digestion and has eliminated loose stools... which I experienced for 48 years and thought of as a 'normal' condition... and has brought significant comfort to my personal life. I am careful to delay injection until the meal is in front of me ready to eat to head off any negative nausea effect."

"My endocrinologist put me on this to lose weight. Note: I am extremely sensitive to insulin and can only use regular, as the NPH analogues make me very ill, except Levemir, which I developed an immunity to, and every week I have to go up another ten. Anyway, now the after-meal spikes are a thing of the past, I can say that. Anyone with dawn phenomenon NEEDS this. I barely even need to use my R at all anymore unless I eat something like a big Chinese meal. This stuff has changed me so much, I no longer crave candy every night. Now, if I eat candy once every 2 weeks, I'm lucky. The weight loss associated with this is slow, but it really works. Like a diet pill without the speedy effects. I HIGHLY recommend this to all type 1 diabetics."
