Insulin management

摘要

A method of managing insulin includes receiving blood glucose measurements on a computing device from a glucometer. The blood glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method includes determining, using the computing device, an insulin dose rate based on the blood glucose measurements and determining a blood glucose drop rate based on the blood glucose measurements and the time interval. The method also includes determining a blood glucose percentage drop based on the blood glucose measurements. The method includes decreasing the time interval between blood glucose measurements by the glucometer when the blood glucose drop rate is greater than a threshold drop rate, and decreasing the time interval between blood glucose measurements by the glucometer when the blood glucose percentage drop is greater than a threshold percentage drop.

1. A method comprising:
receiving blood glucose measurements for a patient at data processing hardware from a glucometer in communication with the data processing hardware, the blood glucose measurements comprising a current blood glucose measurement measured at a current time and a previous blood glucose measurement measured at a previous time earlier than the current time, wherein an elapsed time between the current time and the previous time defines a current time interval; determining, using the data processing hardware, an intravenous insulin infusion rate based on the current blood glucose measurement and the previous blood glucose measurement; determining, using the data processing hardware, a blood glucose percentage drop based on the current blood glucose measurement and the previous blood glucose measurement; determining, using the data processing hardware, a blood glucose drop rate based on the current blood glucose measurement, the previous blood glucose measurement, and the current time interval; determining, using the data processing hardware, a next time interval from the current time until a next time of a next scheduled blood glucose measurement for the patient based on the current blood glucose measurement, the next time interval comprising a shorter duration of time than the current time interval when:
the blood glucose percentage drop is greater than a threshold percentage drop; orthe blood glucose drop rate is greater than a threshold drop rate; and sending the intravenous insulin infusion rate from the data processing hardware to a remote insulin administration device in communication with the data processing hardware, and when the insulin administration device receives the intravenous insulin infusion rate, the insulin administration device administers insulin to the patient intravenously using the intravenous insulin infusion rate.
