said method comprising the steps:

(a) combining (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-(4-chloro-3-(4-(2-cyclopropoxyethoxy)benzyl)phenyl)-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol bis(L-proline) complex and a suitable solvent with mixing to form a solution;

(b) adding a precipitating solvent to said solution to provide a mixture; and

(c) isolating said crystalline form from said mixture,

wherein the crystalline form is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern that comprises peaks at 11.2, 12.9, 15.5, 17.8, 19.1, 20.0, 20.6, 20.7, 21.2 and 22.8 degrees 2θ, ±0.1 degrees 2θ, wherein said XRPD is made using CuK α1 radiation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solvent of step (a) is selected from the group consisting of methanol and ethanol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solvent of step (a) is methanol.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precipitating solvent is water.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solvent of step (a) is methanol and the precipitating solvent is water.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the ratio of methanol to water in the mixture of step (b) is from about 1:1 to about 1:9 by volume.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the ratio of methanol to water in the mixture of step (b) is about 1:5 by volume.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of complex to solvent and precipitating solvent in the mixture of step (b) is from about 1:10 to about 1:25 (w/v).

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of step (b) further comprises a base.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of step (b) further comprises a salt.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of step (b) further comprises a seed crystal of the crystalline form.

12. A method for making a crystalline form of the compound of the formula:

said method comprising the steps:

(a) combining (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-(4-chloro-3-(4-(2-cyclopropoxyethoxyl)benzyl)phenyl)-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol and a suitable solvent with mixing to form a solution; and

(b) isolating said crystalline form from said solution,

wherein the crystalline form is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern that comprises peaks at 11.2, 12.9, 15.5, 17.8, 19.1, 20.0, 20.6, 20.7, 21.2 and 22.8 degrees 2θ, ±0.1 degrees 2θ, wherein said XRPD is made using CuK α1 radiation.

13. The method of claim 12 , said method comprising the steps:

(b) adding a precipitating solvent to said solution to form a mixture; and

(c) isolating said crystalline form from said mixture.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising adding a precipitating solvent to said solution.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the solvent of step (a) is selected from the group consisting of methanol and ethanol.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the solvent of step (a) is methanol.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the precipitating solvent is water.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the solvent of step (a) is methanol and the precipitating solvent is water.
