Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system and method for analyzing diabetes by collecting glucose level readings from a user and analyzing them to determine patterns and recommend insulin dosage. The system can receive multiple glucose level readings over a period of time, such as a day or a few days, and determine an average glucose level for the user. The system can also analyze the glucose level readings in relation to specific events, such as meals or exercise, and adjust the insulin dosage accordingly. The system can provide recommendations to the user through a computer or other suitable system. Overall, the invention aims to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of diabetes analysis and treatment.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the glucose level readings may exclude those from the most recent days, especially if a user is learning a new behavior.

Embodiment Construction

[0071]Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to flowchart and menu illustrations of methods, apparatus, and computer program products. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations, can be implemented by computer program instructions (as can any menu screens described in the Figures). These computer program instructions may be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions which execute on the computer (or other programmable data processing apparatus) create instructions for implementing the functions specified in the flowchart block or blocks. These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer-readable memory that can direct a computer (or other programmable data processing apparatus) to function in a particular manner, such that the instructions stored in the computer-readable memory pr...

Abstract

A method of managing use of an insulin infusion device are provided. The method receives glucose data for a user of the infusion device, wherein the glucose data indicates blood glucose levels of the user for a period of time during which the insulin infusion device is regulating delivery of insulin to the user. The received glucose data is received to detect certain event occurrences, which may be indicative of a correctable basal rate setting of the insulin infusion device and / or indicative of potential maladjustment of a user-specific setting of a bolus calculator setting of the insulin infusion device. The method outputs a recommendation to adjust the basal rate setting and / or the bolus calculator setting as needed to address the detected event occurrences.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 61 / 656,765, filed Jun. 7, 2012 (the entire content of which is incorporated by reference herein).TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]Embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for diabetes therapy management. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for analyzing patient information to generate reports to assist in the management of diabetes therapy.BACKGROUND[0003]The pancreas of a normal healthy person produces and releases insulin into the blood stream in response to elevated blood plasma glucose levels. Beta cells (β-cells), which reside in the pancreas, produce and secrete the insulin into the blood stream, as it is needed. If β-cells become incapacitated or die, a condition known as Type I diabetes mellitus (or in some cases if β-cells produce insufficient quantities of insulin, Type II diabet...
