I started with Lantus solostar with 70 units morning and Evening. It was not controlling the onset of Diabetes since I was allergic to Metformin (since it contained Sulfa) They added Humalog Kwikpen for Rapid during meals all it did was to add more weight to my body and more trouble with not able to control. Dr. added Symlin 60 for one month 2 times a day and increased it to Symlin 120 2 times a day this controlled my weight from increasing. I was happy I am maintaining my weight and lost some. I moved from one state to another the Doctors decided to make me remove the Symlin 120 stating it is only used for type 1 diabetics not for type 2 was their argument. I stopped gained weight within 6 months period and was having some breathing trouble. Again moved 400 miles away. I found the best Doctor in CA and she is so good and put me on Symlin 60 and the control of BS is enormous plus my weight already is starting to come down. Hurrah for the Amylin Hormone which is making it all work Thanks to the manufacturers of Symlin.

No effect on weight loss. Amylin Pharmecuticals seems to be the only one benefitting from this expensive "fake ... Show Full Comment

One of the side effects is upset stomach, not easy to take when at work or out of the house for the day.

I thought I would lose some weight with adding this medicine. However, I have not seen that much of a change.
