Disclosed is a method for treating or preventing hypoglycemia in a patient comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a glucagon peptide which has been dried in a non-volatile buffer, and wherein the glucagon peptide has a pH memory that is about equal to the pH of the glucagon peptide in the non-volatile buffer, and an aprotic polar solvent, wherein the moisture content of the formulation is less than 5%, and wherein the dried glucagon peptide maintains the pH memory that is about equal to the pH of the glucagon peptide in the non-volatile buffer when the dried glucagon peptide is reconstituted in the aprotic polar solvent, wherein the patient has been diagnosed as having a blood glucose level between 0 mg/dL and less than 50 mg/dL or has an indication of impending hypoglycemia based on a blood glucose monitoring device before administration of the composition, and wherein the patient has a blood glucose level greater than 50 mg/dL to 180 mg/dL within 1 to 20 minutes after administration of the composition.
本发明涉及一种治疗或预防糖尿病患者低血糖的方法,该方法包括给患者投予含有干燥在非挥发性缓冲剂中的胰高血糖素肽的有效量的组合物,其中所述胰高血糖素肽具有与非挥发性缓冲剂中的胰高血糖素肽pH相近的pH记忆,并且含有无极性溶剂,其中该配方的含
水量小于5%,并且当干燥的胰高血糖素肽在无极性溶剂中重新溶解时,干燥的胰高血糖素肽保持与非挥发性缓冲剂中的胰高血糖素肽pH相近的pH记忆。患者在使用该组合物前被诊断为血糖
水平在0毫克/分升至小于50毫克/分升之间或根据血糖监测设备有即将发生低血糖的指征,并且在使用该组合物后1至20分钟内,患者的血糖
水平从50毫克/分升至180毫克/分升。
