[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2293378, member: 525950"] They have it here in the UK but it is rarely prescribed because of the side effects as mentioned above and the fact that you have to calculate your dose. Every time you eat you would have to calculate both insulin and amylin but also worry about how they would interact with each other as amylin reduces insulin need. Amylin is what your body produces but symlin is the analogue version of amylin. I was looking at why they don’t make an insulin/amylin mix to better mimic the role of the pancreas but apparently they are stable at different pH so at the moment we just have to overload ourselves with insulin.
