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.

It only happens for my morning meal. If I eat a late breakfast (say after about 8:30 or 9:00 AM) then I don't have the problem and I don't need to take Symlin; I use my normal I:C ratio.
My Endo mentioned perhaps going to one of the pills, but thought the Symlin would be a better choice to try first. He said if that didn't work, then we would investigate other options.
