Anyone here on both Metformin and Symlin?

Hi all. I am a type 1 on the t:slim, currently pumping Humalog. Since my diagnosis a little over three years ago I have been unable to lose any weight. This past year in graduate school has caused me to gain almost 40lbs alone. I discussed my inability to stop gaining (not even lose) weight with my CDEand she suggested metformin. I also inquired about Symlin. Due to price, I walked away with a prescription to metformin. I am curious though as to her recommendation that you should not take both medications simultaneously, even though the internet says there are no known interactions.

Has anyone here taken both? What were your results?

Thanks much.

you might want to ask in the Symlin Group

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

I am on symlin and metformin and haven't had any weight loss. I've been on symlin for a while and started met in July. Good luck to you though hope they help.
