The present invention provides formulations and methods for preparing formulations containing an aqueous solution at a pH of greater than about 7.9. The aqueous solution includes an isotonicity agent, a phenolic derivative, zinc ions, and an acylated human insulin analog. More particularly, the invention relates to formulations having a pH of greater than about 7.9 that include a monoacylated human insulin analog such as an acylated des(B30) human insulin analog or an analog that comprises a native or modified human insulin A chain optionally modified at position A21, and a modified native human insulin B chain optionally modified at position B3 and modified at position B28, or at both positions B28 and B29, and that contains a lysine residue at either position B28 or B29 acylated with a fatty acid residue. The invention also provides a method for treating a patient suffering from hyperglycemia using the pharmaceutical formulations of the invention. |
