Medical system and method for providing information for glycemic control

A system for controlling a medical device to administer a dose of insulin for glycemic control, wherein the dose is stepwise adapted, the system comprising:

• a data processing unit including one or more processors to define different stepwise adapting dose adjustment profiles for stepwise adapting the dose, wherein each of the different stepwise adapting dose adjustment profiles is based at least on a specific initial dose value, a specific pre-defined time interval for increasing the dose, a specific dose increase step for increasing the dose after the pre-defined time interval and a specific low blood glucose threshold value, wherein the different stepwise adapting dose adjustment profiles are provided for different insulin types and different diabetes types;
• a storage unit to store the different stepwise adapting dose adjustment profiles;
• a selection unit to select one of the stored different stepwise adapting dose adjustment profiles based on specific requirements for stepwise adapting the dose, wherein the specific requirements for stepwise adapting the dose are defined by a diabetes type and an age of a diabetes patient;
• a personalization unit to personalize the selected stepwise adapting dose adjustment profile by defining at least a specific target blood glucose value for a specific user;
• a transmitting unit to transmit the personalized profile to the medical device that receives and is updated with the transmitted personalized stepwise adapting dose adjustment profile;
• an adapting unit of the medical device to stepwise determine the dose according to the transmitted personalized stepwise adapting dose adjustment profile;
• and
• a dose delivering unit of the medical device, wherein the dose delivering unit is configured to administer the determined dose to the specific user.
