DISCRETIONARY INSULIN DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A method of facilitating delivery of a discretionary dose of insulin to a user includes: enabling the user or a caregiver to specify, via a computer-based user interface, parameters associated with a discretionary delivery of insulin that may be delivered to the user; subsequently receiving data that represents the user's glucose level during a period of time associated with the discretionary delivery; automatically determining, with a computer-based processor, based on the received data, if, when and how much discretionary insulin should be delivered to the user during the period of time associated with the discretionary delivery; delivering insulin to the user during the period of time associated with the discretionary delivery according to the automatic determination; and delivering insulin to the user with the insulin delivery device according to a non-discretionary insulin delivery schedule unless a discretionary insulin delivery mode has been triggered.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
an insulin delivery device configured to deliver insulin to a user of the system; a glucose monitor; and a computer-based control unit having a user interface and a computer-based processor, wherein the user interface enables a caregiver to specify parameters associated with a discretionary delivery of insulin that may be delivered to the user, wherein the glucose monitor subsequently monitors a glucose level of the user during a period of time associated with the discretionary delivery and sends data representing the monitored glucose level to the computer-based processor, wherein the computer-based processor automatically determines, based on the data received from the glucose monitor if, when and how much discretionary insulin should be delivered to the user during the period of time associated with the discretionary delivery, wherein the insulin delivery device delivers insulin to the user during the period of time associated with the discretionary delivery according to the automatic determination, and wherein the system is configured to deliver insulin to the user according to a non-discretionary insulin delivery schedule unless a discretionary insulin delivery mode has been triggered.
