Abstract
A system, method and non-transient computer readable medium for assessing the opportunity to address either hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic risk (or both) in patients with diabetes based on historical continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data.
Claims21
A method for assessing actionable glycemic risk comprising:
- obtaining an output continuous glucose monitoring (BG) signal at a time t;
- determining a glycemic cost signal at the time t based on the output BGsignal with a glycemic cost function algorithm that attributes equal cost to each of two end points (BGtarget,lo, BGtarget,hi) of a desired blood glucose target range;
- and
- using the glycemic cost signal to quantify actionable risk and unaddressable risk, wherein actionable risk includes actionable hypoglycemia risk and actionable hyperglycemia risk.
1 more element
A system for assessing actionable glycemic risk comprising:
- a digital processor;
- a continuous blood glucose monitoring (BG) sensor in communication with the digital processor, the continuous blood glucose monitoring (BG) sensor beina configured to:
- generate a blood glucose signal;
- and
- a risk determination module, configured to:
- receive the glucose signal from the continuous glucose monitoring sensor, and generate an actionable hypoglycemia risk signal, an actionable hyperglycemia risk signal, and an unaddressable risk signal using a glycemic cost function algorithm that attributes equal cost to each of two end points (BGtarget,lo, BGtarget,hi) of a desired blood glucose target range.
