<human>: Hello Redditors! I'm actually quite new, and here's my first post... So here goes :]

I've been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes since I was 5 (back in 1997). I've made the switch from syringes, jets, pens, to now an insulin pump. I'm doing way better than ever at this point in time with my diabetes.. For the past year, I've been struggling because I feel I've been so distracted with college and being stressed off some personal issues. My Hemoglobin a1C at the time was about 8.2-8.9 which is high.. And now I'm back in range at 7.6. Yay me!

Anyways, I got back with my Nurse Practitioner (NP) for Diabetes just yesterday and noticed I have some areas with my blood sugars that could be adjusted. To be specific, my NP said that I've been reaching low blood sugars and then after corrections, my blood sugars are too high. In addition, my post meal blood sugars are too high. 

In order to correct this, my NP said that I would have to see one of the doctors for a prescription for this (which I will in June) hormone called amylin. My NP said that it isn't mainly used with Type 1 diabetes patients, but with Type 2 Diabetes patients to control their blood sugars, hunger, and maintain weight as well. Although, at the clinic/specialists I go to, they have said that their patients who fall under adult female, looking to maintain blood sugars, and to control weight, have been using this and have been successful in small doses.

I don't know any other female diabetic near me, I only know a couple of guys that were from my school. I was just wondering if anyone Type 1 or Type 2 has had some experience or is using amylin and how is it going.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I'm a Type 1 Diabetic curious how amylin has helped or maybe not helped you with your diabetes, type 1 or not.
