Abstract
Methods and systems for encouraging interactions with a glucose monitoring system include incrementing a score and/or providing a reward based on a variety of different interactions with the glucose monitoring system. The interactions which improve the score may include initiating or changing displays, downloading data, setting operational parameters and other interactions that are independent of a user's glucose measurements. Encouraging these interactions can enhance success in maintaining healthy glucose concentrations.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, containing instructions for causing a computing environment to perform a method of operating a customized bolus calculator, the method including learning a personalized meal interpretation for a host, the method comprising:
- during a meal time period, receiving host data about a meal consumed during the meal time period, receiving data about insulin provided to the host during the meal time period, and receiving data about the host glucose concentration during the meal time period;
- associating the host meal data with the insulin data and the glucose data during the meal time period, and learning a personalized meal interpretation for the host based on the associating;
- and
- customizing a bolus calculation based on the glucose data, the meal data, and the personalized meal interpretation.
An insulin pump, programmed to provide a customized bolus calculator, the bolus calculator incorporating learned patient data, the programming performing a method comprising:
- during a meal time period, receiving host data about a meal consumed during the meal time period, receiving data about insulin provided to the host during the meal time period, and receiving data about the host glucose concentration during the meal time period;
- associating the host meal data with the insulin data and the glucose data during the meal time period, and learning a personalized meal interpretation for the host based on the associating;
- and
- customizing a bolus calculation based on the glucose data, the meal data, and the personalized meal interpretation.
