Diabetes therapy device enabling shifting of parameter profiles

A diabetes therapy device comprising:

• a profile memory, wherein the profile memory stores a parameter profile and a reference time mark,
• wherein the parameter profile defines at least one parameter that is associated with insulin administration as a function of time for a generally circadian chronobiological cycle,
• wherein the reference time mark indicates the beginning of the generally circadian chronobiological cycle and initializes a running time;
• and
• a controller unit and a going-to-bed sensor,
• wherein the controller unit is coupled to the profile memory and determines insulin amounts to be administered as a function of the running time in accordance with a current matching of the parameter profile and the running time,
• wherein the determined insulin amounts are based on the at least one parameter,
• wherein the controller unit modifies the current matching of the parameter profile and the running time, and
• wherein the controller unit:
• receives trigger information that is indicative of an upcoming cycle trigger event occurring at an upcoming trigger time,
• wherein the upcoming cycle trigger event is a defined event that generally occurs once per day and triggers the beginning of the generally circadian chronobiological cycle, wherein the upcoming cycle trigger event is associated with the diabetic going to bed, falling asleep or waking up, and
• wherein the going-to-bed sensor is operatively coupled to the controller unit, and wherein the going-to-bed sensor detects at least one of the following actions:
• falling asleep, being asleep, waking up, getting up, and an auxiliary event, wherein the occurrence of the auxiliary event is correlated with falling asleep, being asleep, waking up, or getting up,
• computes a modified matching based on the reference time mark and the upcoming trigger time, wherein the modified matching is time-shifted from the current matching, and
• applies the modified matching by making the modified matching the current matching, such that future insulin amounts to be administered are determined in accordance with the modified matching.

A method of treating diabetes, the method comprising:

• providing a profile memory, wherein the profile memory stores a parameter profile and a reference time mark,
• wherein the parameter profile defines at least one parameter that is associated with insulin administration as a function of time for a generally circadian chronobiological cycle,
• wherein the reference time mark indicates the beginning of the generally circadian chronobiological cycle and initializes a running time;
• providing a controller unit,
• wherein the controller unit is coupled to the profile memory and determines insulin amounts to be administered as a function of the running time in accordance with a current matching of the parameter profile and the running time,
• wherein the determined insulin amounts are based on the at least one parameter, and
• wherein the controller unit modifies the current matching of the parameter profile and the running time;
• receiving trigger information that is indicative of an upcoming cycle trigger event occurring at an upcoming trigger time, wherein the upcoming cycle trigger event is a defined event that generally occurs once per day and triggers the beginning of the generally circadian chronobiological cycle;
• computing a modified matching based on the reference time mark and the upcoming trigger time, wherein the modified matching is time-shifted from the current matching;
• and
• applying the modified matching by making the modified matching the current matching, such that future insulin amounts to be administered are determined in accordance with the modified matching.
