System and Methods for Improved Diabetes Data Management and Use Employing Wireless Connectivity Between Patients and Healthcare Providers and Repository of Diabetes Management Information

Methods, devices and a system for disease management are provided that employ diagnostic testing devices (e.g., blood glucose meters) and medication delivery devices (e.g., insulin delivery devices) for providing data to a repository in real-time and automatically. Repository data can be analyzed to determine such information as actual test strip use, patient health parameters to outside prescribed ranges, testing and medication delivery compliance, patient profiles or stakeholders to receive promotional items or incentives, and so on. Connected meters and medication delivery devices and repository data analysis are also employed to associate a diagnostic test to a mealtime based on timing of a therapeutic intervention performed by an individual.

Calculating insulin on board for extended bolus being delivered by an insulin delivery device

ActiveUS20100017141A1Drug and medicationsFlow propertiesOn boardInsulin on board
A system and method may be used to calculate insulin on board (IOB) for an extended bolus being delivered by an insulin infusion pump. In general, the system and method calculates an extended bolus IOB value for the extended bolus, which takes into account the insulin currently on board from the extended bolus and the insulin scheduled to be delivered by the extended bolus over a subsequent time period equivalent to a duration of insulin action. The extended bolus IOB value may be used to calculate a suggested bolus.

Insulin pump

A portable insulin delivery device that supplies insulin in a pre-pressurized chamber, passes the insulin through a pressure-dropping labyrinth to a flow control valve. The valve is activated by a piezoelectric actuator. This allows for precise insulin delivery. An electronic package provides for programming of basal rates and bolus. A pressure sensor relays data concerning normal operation and pressure changes that indicate problems. The processor, keypad, displays power source, fluid pressure sensor and fluid flow control actuator are housed in a base unit. A removable cartridge unit houses the pre-pressurized fluid reservoir, flow path labyrinth, and flow control valve.

Single-chain insulin analogues stabilized by a fourth disulfide bridge

ActiveUS20200140517A1Unfavorable effectReduces conformational fluctuationPeptide/protein ingredientsMetabolism disorderDisulfide bondingDiabetes mellitus
A single-chain insulin analogue comprises a B-chain insulin polypeptide connected to an A-chain insulin polypeptide by a C-domain polypeptide. The B-chain insulin polypeptide contains a Cysteine substitution at position B4. The A-chain insulin polypeptide contains a Cysteine substitution at position A10. The C-domain polypeptide is 4 to 11 amino acids long. The analogue mitigates the unfavorable activity of this 4th disulfide bridge in conventional two-chain insulin analogues resulting in a duration of insulin signaling similar to that of wild-type insulin. A method of treating a patient with diabetes mellitus comprises the administration of a physiologically effective amount of the protein or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof to a patient. Use of a single-chain insulin analogue of the present invention in an insulin delivery device (such as a pump or pen) or as part of a high-temperature polymer-melt manufacturing process.
