摘要:
Disclosed is a glucose monitoring system. The system includes a glucose sensor to periodically perform a plurality of glucose measurements in interstitial fluid, and a processor to determine one or more HbA1c values representative of a patient's glycosylated hemoglobin levels based on the periodic glucose measurements. In some embodiments, the glucose sensor is coupled to a therapeutic fluid (e.g., insulin) dispensing pump.

A device and a method are provided that can be used for prevention of hypoglycemia. In one aspect, a device and a method for prevention of hypoglycemia can comprise receiving a target blood glucose (TBG) level corresponding to a desired level of glucose in a patient's body during a fasting time period; receiving a bedtime blood glucose (BBG) level corresponding to the level of glucose in the patient's body substantially at the beginning of the fasting time period; receiving a first set of parameters corresponding to a medical state of the patient; providing the levels of the TBG, BBG and the medical state of the patent to a therapeutic course of action determining means; and, providing means for administering the therapeutic course of action to the patient.
摘要:
A system and a method for determining an assessed carbohydrate to insulin ratio of a patient is described. The system and the method can comprise a memory component adapted for storing an initial set of values comprising at least one of a blood glucose level, a target blood glucose level, an insulin sensitivity, and, an estimated carbohydrate to insulin ratio. The system and the method can also comprise a bolus selection component adapted for selecting a test bolus corresponding to the determined initial set of values and a planned meal. In one implementation, the bolus selection component can receive bolus dose input from a user. In another implementation, the bolus selection component can estimate the bolus dose using a set of available inputs (e.g. the amount of carbohydrates in the planned meal). The system and the method can further comprise a user interface component adapted for receiving a confirmation that the test bolus has been administered to the patient. In some implementations, the user interface component can be adapted for selecting a meal of a known content.

Disclosed is a system to deliver insulin to a user's body. The system includes a dispensing unit to deliver the insulin to the body, and a control mechanism to control delivery of basal insulin according to a predetermined basal infusion pattern, the basal infusion pattern selected from a plurality of predetermined basal infusion patterns. In some embodiments, selection of the basal infusion pattern may be based on one or more personal characteristics of the user.

Disclosed is a medical device to treat diabetes. The medical device includes a bolus calculator to determine an insulin bolus based on, at least in part, a glycemic index value associated with an intake to be consumed by a user, the bolus calculator further adapted to determine the insulin bolus using one or more inputs selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate load of the intake, a current glucose level of the user, a residual insulin of the user, a carbohydrate to insulin ration, an insulin sensitivity of the user and a target glucose level of the user. The bolus calculator is housed in one or more of, for example, an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control unit for the insulin dispensing pump and/or a handheld glucose monitor.
摘要:
Methods, systems and devices for assessing residual insulin time of a patient are provided. In one embodiment, the method and the device can be implemented by receiving a confirmation that an insulin dose has been administered to the patient; repetitively receiving a value corresponding to the patient's blood glucose level; identifying at least two consecutively received values based on a predetermined criteria; and, selecting the residual insulin time corresponding to a time period between the confirmation that the insulin dose has been administered and a time corresponding to the identification of the at least two consecutively received values.
摘要:
Devices, systems and methods for adjusting fluid delivery based on past or historical fluid delivery data and/or personal parameters of a user are disclosed. Devices, and corresponding systems and methods, may comprise a dispensing unit configured to deliver a fluid from a reservoir into the body of a user and a processor having instructions operating thereon to retrieve data relating to one or more time windows from a memory, assess a correction delivery for the one or more time windows based on the data, determine a new CIR value for the one or more time windows if the correction delivery regularly follows a meal bolus and/or determine a new basal delivery profile for the one or more time windows if the correction delivery regularly precedes a meal bolus.
