Abstract
Methods, devices and system for determining fasting glucose level information and post-prandial glucose level information for diagnosing pre-diabetic and diabetic conditions based on monitored glucose measurements are provided.
Claims12
A method of determining fasting glucose level information, comprising:
- performing a meal start time determination for each one day time period, wherein performing the meal start time determination includes:
- retrieving from a storage unit a meal start time of day period;
- retrieving an insulin delivery information within the meal start time of day period;
- identifying an insulin delivery time within the meal start time of day period;
- retrieving glucose data collected during the meal start time of day period;
- determining a potential meal start time within the meal start time of day period by identifying an upward trend in the glucose data;
- comparing the insulin delivery time with the potential meal start time;
- and
- setting the meal start time as the determined potential meal start time when the insulin delivery time correlates with the potential meal start time based on the comparison;
- determining a plurality of fasting metrics, each fasting metric corresponding to a respective one day time period, wherein determining each fasting metrics includes:
- retrieving a plurality of glucose data collected over a fasting period, the fasting period preceding the determined meal start time;
- and
- determining a median, mean, minimum, or maximum of the retrieved plurality of glucose data over the fasting period;
- determining an overall fasting metric, wherein the overall fasting metric is determined by applying a function to the determined fasting metric, the function including one or more of a median, a mean, a standard deviation, an interquartile range, a minimum, or a maximum;
- generating fasting glucose level information using the overall fasting metric;
- generating diagnosis information using the fasting glucose level information, wherein the generated diagnosis information provides an indication of a diabetic condition or a pre-diabetes condition;
- and
- outputting the diagnosis information on a user interface.
