Advising diabetes treatments

A computer-implemented method for managing glucose levels of a patient under the supervision of a healthcare professional (HCP), the method when executed by data processing hardware, causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining patient information for the patient, the patient information comprising:
• patient medication data comprising a current medications list including a list of medications the patient is currently prescribed;
• patient monitoring data;
• and
• patient characteristic data;
• for each corresponding medication in the current medications list, determining corresponding risk profile characteristic data indicating a list of patient characteristics associated with hyperglycemia for patients receiving the corresponding medication;
• creating a patient risk profile for the patient based on the patient monitoring data, the patient characteristic data, and the corresponding risk profile characteristic data determined for each corresponding medication in the current medications list;
• determining a likelihood that the patient will experience hyperglycemic effects based on the patient risk profile;
• determining an optimum treatment plan for the patient based on the patient risk profile and the likelihood that the patient will experience hyperglycemic effects, the optimum treatment plan comprising a recommended dosage of a particular medication, the particular medication comprising an anti-diabetes medication or insulin;
• and
• transmitting instructions to an administration device associated with the patient to administer the recommended dosage of the particular medication to the patient, the instructions causing the administration device to administer the recommended dosage of the particular medication to the patient.

A system comprising:

• data processing hardware;
• and
• memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware and storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining patient information for a patient, the patient information comprising:
• patient medication data comprising a current medications list including a list of medications the patient is currently prescribed;
• patient monitoring data;
• and
• patient characteristic data;
• for each corresponding medication in the current medications list, determining corresponding risk profile characteristic data indicating a list of patient characteristics associated with hyperglycemia for patients receiving the corresponding medication;
• creating a patient risk profile for the patient based on the patient information monitoring data, the patient characteristic data, and the corresponding risk profile characteristic data determined for each corresponding medication in the current medications list;
• determining a likelihood that the patient will experience hyperglycemic effects based on the patient risk profile;
• determining an optimum treatment plan for the patient based on the patient risk profile and the likelihood that the patient will experience hyperglycemic effects, the optimum treatment plan comprising a recommended dosage of a particular medication, the particular medication comprising an anti-diabetes medication or insulin;
• and
• transmitting the optimum treatment plan to one of a healthcare professional (HCP) device associated with a HCP or a patient device associated with the patient;
• and
• transmitting instructions to an administration device associated with the patient to administer the particular dosage of the particular medication to the patient, the instructions when received by the administration device causing the administration device to administer the recommended dosage of the particular medication to the patient.
