Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data and insulin delivery data are used to generate more reliable projected alarms related to a projected glucose levels. A memory stores endogenous data related to measurements of glucose level in a patient, and also stores exogenous data, such as insulin on board, both of which are used by a processor to create projected alarms. Profiles of CGM data are created for use in tuning patient-specific insulin data, such at basal rate, carb ratio, and insulin sensitivity. A processor searches for patterns in the data profiles and if found, recommended changes to patient-specific insulin data are provided to permit more accurate control over a patient's glucose levels.
Claims27
An integrated glucose management system for tuning patient-specific insulin data, comprising:
- a memory configured to record and store glucose measurement data representing measurements of physiological glucose levels, and to store exogenous data in a form of attributes tagged to the stored glucose measurement data;
- a user interface comprising a visual display and an input device configured to receive and communicate user input data and instructions;
- and
- a processor comprising computer-executable instructions to:
- record multiple series of glucose measurement data into the memory during defined time periods;
- tag each of the recorded series of glucose measurement data with exogenous attributes including a profile name, wherein the name of the profile is selected to identify the data recording as belonging to a particular category of patient conditions;
- access the memory to retrieve a plurality of profiles having a same profile name;
- compare the retrieved plurality of profiles to detect a persistent pattern of undesirable measured glucose levels existing in the plurality of profiles;
- provide an alarm at the user interface if the persistent pattern is detected in the retrieved plurality of profiles;
- and
- provide a recommended change to patient-specific insulin data as a result of the detected persistent pattern, and display the recommended change on the user interface;
- wherein the computer-executable instructions include an excess insulin manager configured to provide a plurality of alternative recommended changes to the patient-specific insulin data;
- and further
- wherein the excess insulin manager is further configured to prioritize a recommended increase in carbohydrate intake lower than recommended changes to insulin delivery.
