Abstract

A method and system for optimizing insulin dosages for diabetic subjects which includes a processor for calculating basal and bolus dosages to be recommended for meal types including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or at miscellaneous times. The bolus calculations are specifically directed to time periods which are taken from either pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime, mid-sleep or miscellaneous times. The processor calculates an optimized bolus for a specific time period and meal type based upon prior basal dosages, prior glucose doses, hypoglycemia thresholds, mid-point of target ranges, and subject insulin sensitivity factors. A display is provided to the subject for sensing the optimized insulin dosage recommended at a specific time period and for a specific meal type.

Abstract

A method of administering insulin includes receiving glucose measurements of a patient at a data processing device from a continuous glucose monitoring system. The glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method also includes receiving patient information at the data processing device and selecting a subcutaneous insulin treatment from a collection of subcutaneous insulin treatments. The selection is based on the glucose measurements and the patient information. The selection includes one or more of a subcutaneous standard program, a subcutaneous program without meal boluses, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program without carbohydrate counting, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program with carbohydrate counting, and a subcutaneous program for non-diabetic patients. The method also includes executing, using the data processing device, the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment.

Abstract

A method and system for optimizing insulin dosages for diabetic subjects which includes a processor for calculating basal and bolus dosages to be recommended for meal types including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or at miscellaneous times. The bolus calculations are specifically directed to time periods which are taken from either pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime, mid-sleep or miscellaneous times. The processor calculates an optimized bolus for a specific time period and meal type based upon prior basal dosages, prior glucose doses, hypoglycemia thresholds, mid-point of target ranges, and subject insulin sensitivity factors. A display is provided to the subject for sensing the optimized insulin dosage recommended at a specific time period and for a specific meal type.

Abstract

A method of administering insulin includes receiving scheduled glucose time intervals and obtaining glucose data of a patient that includes glucose measurements, glucose times, and insulin dosages previously administered by the patient. The method also includes applying a set of filters to identify which of the glucose measurements associated with at least one of the scheduled time intervals are usable and which of the glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval are unusable. The method also includes aggregating the glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval identified as usable to determine a representative aggregate glucose measurement and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate glucose measurement and the insulin dosages previously administered by the patient.

Abstract

A method includes obtaining prescribing drug information and published guidelines for each of a plurality of Anti-Diabetes Medications (ADMs) available for managing glucose levels, and receiving patient information associated with a patient. The method also includes ordering total demerit values from lowest to highest, selecting a predetermined number of recommended ADMs associated with the lowest total demerit values, and determining a recommended dosage for each recommended ADM. The recommended dosage is based on an energy- adjusted A1c value calculated as a function of the current haemoglobin A1c value of the patient, the number of calories burned by the patient obtained by a fitness tracker worn by the patient, and the current weight of the patient. The method also includes transmitting a therapy regimen to a patient device associated with the patient. The therapy regimen includes the recommended ADMs and the recommended dosage for each recommended ADM.

Abstract

A method of administering insulin includes receiving blood glucose measurements of a patient at a data processing device from a glucometer. The blood glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method also includes receiving patient information at the data processing device and selecting a subcutaneous insulin treatment from a collection of subcutaneous insulin treatments. The selection is based on the blood glucose measurements and the patient information. The selection includes one or more of a subcutaneous standard program, a subcutaneous program without meal boluses, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program without carbohydrate counting, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program with carbohydrate counting, and a subcutaneous program for non-diabetic patients. The method also includes executing, using the data processing device, the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment.

Abstract

A method includes obtaining training data for a plurality of patients of a patient population. The training data includes training blood glucose history data including treatment doses of insulin administered by the patients of the patient population and one or more outcome attributes associated with each treatment dose. The method also includes identifying, for each patient of the patient population, one or more optimum treatment doses of insulin from the treatment doses yielding favorable outcome attributes. The method also includes receiving patient-state information for the treated patient, determining a next recommended treatment dose of insulin for the treated patient based on one or more of the identified optimum treatment doses associated with the patients of the patient population having training patient-state information similar to the patient-state information for the treated patient, and transmitting the next recommended treatment dose to a portable device associated with the treated patient.

Abstract

A method of managing insulin includes receiving blood glucose measurements on a computing device from a glucometer. The blood glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method includes determining, by the computing device, an insulin dose rate based on the blood glucose measurements and determining a blood glucose drop rate based on the blood glucose measurements and the time interval. The method also includes determining a blood glucose percentage drop based on the blood glucose measurements. The method includes decreasing the time interval between blood glucose measurements by the glucometer when the blood glucose drop rate is greater than a threshold drop rate, and decreasing the time interval between blood glucose measurements by the glucometer when the blood glucose percentage drop is greater than a threshold percentage drop.

Abstract

A method and system for optimizing insulin dosages for diabetic subjects which includes a processor for calculating basal and bolus dosages to be recommended for meal types including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or at miscellaneous times. The bolus calculations are specifically directed to time periods which are taken from either pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime, mid-sleep or miscellaneous times. The processor calculates an optimized bolus for a specific time period and meal type based upon prior basal dosages, prior blood glucose doses, hypoglycemia thresholds, mid-point of target ranges, and subject insulin sensitivity factors. A display is provided to the subject for sensing the optimized insulin dosage recommended at a specific time period and for a specific meal type.

Abstract

A method of administering insulin includes receiving scheduled blood glucose time intervals and obtaining blood glucose data of a patient that includes blood glucose measurements, blood glucose times, and insulin dosages previously administered by the patient. The method also includes applying a set of filters to identify which of the blood glucose measurements associated with at least one of the scheduled time intervals are usable and which of the blood glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval are unusable. The method also includes aggregating the blood glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval identified as usable to determine a representative aggregate blood glucose measurement and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate blood glucose measurement and the insulin dosages previously administered by the patient.
