Symlin Pen

Symlin is used with insulin to lower blood sugar, especially high blood sugar that happens after meals. It is given/taken subcutaneously (like insulin) about 10-15 minutes prior to the meal. This doesn't replaced insulin, but used as an adjunct to assist in lowering your sugar levels. This medication works better for type 2 diabetics than type 1. If your physician starts you on this, you may begin with a low dose (dial-up system), as 15 mcg, 30 mcg, 45 mcg, 60 mcg, then build finally to the 120 mcg dose level. Once up to this level, you begin seeing better results. Ask your MD about this product if you're not seeing good results already. It may help you as it does me. I have been using this since December 2007, along with my insulin. Make sure you check your blood sugar often, due to the possibility of drop in sugar results. YOu MUST be COMPLIANT when using this one.
