Amylin Tracker App
Track Amylin Analogs for Diabetes
Track amylin and amylin analogs like pramlintide (Symlin). Amylin works alongside insulin to slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite, and improve blood sugar control. Essential for comprehensive diabetes management.
What is Amylin?
Amylin is a hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic beta cells. It slows gastric emptying, reduces post-meal glucagon secretion, and promotes satiety. People with diabetes often have reduced amylin levels.
Pramlintide (Symlin) is the only currently approved amylin analog. New long-acting versions like cagrilintide are in development. Shotlee tracks existing amylin therapies and will support new ones as they're approved.
FAQ
How does amylin differ from GLP-1?
While both reduce appetite, amylin primarily slows gastric emptying and suppresses glucagon after meals. GLP-1 also stimulates insulin secretion. Many patients benefit from both.
Can I track pramlintide with my insulin?
Absolutely. Pramlintide is taken before meals alongside mealtime insulin. Shotlee tracks both medications together on one dashboard.
