Embodiment Construction

[0014] Devices, systems, and techniques for managing glucose levels in patients are described in this disclosure. Some devices, systems and techniques enable glucose management by actively monitoring a patient's food consumption. Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels within a target range is generally required to maintain good health in any patient, especially diabetics. In this disclosure, blood glucose level and glucose level are synonymous and may be described interchangeably herein. Low blood sugar (for example, hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (for example, fasting hyperglycemia and postprandial hyperglycemia) can lead to serious long-term health problems such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. Hypoglycemia may be detected if blood sugar levels drop below 70 mg / dL. Fasting hyperglycemia may be detected if blood sugar rises above 130 mg / dL after not eating or drinking for at least 8 hours. Postprandial or postprandial hyperglycemia may be detected if b...

Abstract

Devices, systems, and techniques are described for directing therapy delivery to diabetic patients. Some devices, systems, and techniques actively monitor the patient's food consumption and, if desired, adjust the patient's diabetes therapy accordingly. In one example, a system includes one or more sensors configured to capture a representation of an object; and processing circuitry configured to: determine data corresponding to the representation of the object, where the data includes information identifying the object as a particular food item; generating food item information based on the information identifying the object as the specific food item, wherein the food item information includes at least one of nutrition information or volume information of the specific food item; generating therapy information for the patient based on the food item information; and outputting content indicative of at least one of the therapy information or the food item information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to medical systems, and more particularly to medical systems for therapy against diabetes. Background technique [0002] A patient with diabetes receives insulin from a pump or injection device to control the level of glucose in his or her bloodstream. Due to insufficient insulin production and / or due to insulin resistance, naturally produced insulin may not be able to control glucose levels in a diabetic's bloodstream. To control glucose levels, a patient's therapy routine may include both basal and bolus insulin doses. Basal insulin, also known as background insulin, tends to keep blood glucose levels at a consistent level during fasting periods and is a long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin. Bolus insulin may be administered at or near mealtimes or other times when relatively rapid changes in glucose levels may occur, and thus may be used as a short-acting or rapid-acting form of insulin dosage. Contents of th...
