Synthesized succinyl and glutaryl glucosamines, p-(succinylamido)-phenyl-.alpha.-D-gluco- and mannopyranosides, p-(glutarylamido)-phenyl-.alpha.-D-gluco- and mannopyranosides and p-(isothiocyanotophenyl)-.alpha.-D-gluco- and mannopyranosides are reacted with insulin to form corresponding glycosylated insulins containing from 1 to 3 glycosyl groups per insulin molecule. The novel glycosylated insulins resist aggregation and show significant activity in depressing blood sugar levels.
