A combined insulin and amylin and / or GLP-1 mimetic formulation has been developed wherein the pH of the insulin is decreased so that the amylin and / or GLP-1 remains soluble when mixed together with the insulin. In the preferred embodiment, a bolus insulin is administered by injection before breakfast, providing adequate bolus insulin levels to cover the meal, without producing hypoglycemia after the meal. This can be combined with an adequate basal insulin for 24 hours. Lunch and dinner can be covered by two bolus injections of the insulin and amylin and / or GLP-1 mimetic combination. A GLP-1 mimetic may be combined with either rapid acting or basal insulin formulations. As a result, a patient using the combination formulation therapy may only need to inject half as many times per day.
