US 8,911,423 B2 · Systems and methods for glycemic control during pump disconnection

Abstract

Techniques and devices are described for allowing a diabetes patient to safely disconnect an insulin infusion system device for a time period. In one aspect, the techniques and devices can be implemented by receiving a maximum glucose amount, a minimum glucose amount, and a contemplated disconnection time; receiving a current glucose amount of the user; determining an expected increase in glucose of the user based on the contemplated disconnection time, an insulin sensitivity of the user and a contemplated basal insulin dose; validating the contemplated disconnection time based on at least one of the expected increase in glucose, the maximum glucose amount, and the minimum glucose amount; and, administering a therapeutic action to the user based on the validation of the contemplated disconnection time.

Dependent claims

A method for controlled disconnection of a therapeutic treatment device comprising:

providing a processor for at least one of programming and operating the treatment device;
receiving a current amount of glucose in a user's body;
automatically determining, by the processor, an amount of insulin for dispensing into the user's body as a function of the current amount of glucose and a contemplated disconnection time;
and
upon the processor determining an amount of insulin for dispensing, initiating dispensing of the determined amount of insulin into the user's body without additional user input of a percentage of the determined amount of insulin for dispensing into the user's body.
