How To Manage Body Weight While Being On Insulin?
Hi there;
I was looking through the drug fact sheets for Pramlintide(Symlin). I'm researching different solutions to manage my weight gain since I've started using insulin. In two years I've gone from 132lbs to 148lbs. The more weight I gain the more insulin I have to take. It's very discouraging. I can't see how this cycle is helping me.
