This is interesting. I have a similar problem with a strong rise in blood sugars in the morning. If I understand it correctly, Symlin limits the production of hepatic glucose by inhibiting glucagon production. And I can see how it can help control the DP surge.
I haven't tried Symlin yet because it isn't available in this part of the world yet. But I have started using Metformin, which has a similar effect. It is still early days, but there appears to be a significant benefit. I am having to get used to lower insulin/carb and correction ratios.
Cheers,
