Symlin Pen?

I know I could find this answer from my endo or dietitian, but... I am sitting in from of the computer right now.

Has a symlin pen been released yet? When I first tried Symlin, I was told a pen was "soon to come"... I think I might use it again if it had a pen...

Anyone know?

Yes, there is one, not sure if it's widely available yet but I know they do make one.

I got a script at the Dr office today for one. Going to the pharmacy today, will let you know tomorrow but I don't see why they would not be available.
