1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, by data processing hardware, an insulin sensitivity factor for a patient and a target blood glucose range defined by upper and lower blood glucose limits for the patient from memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware;
receiving, at data processing hardware, a current blood glucose measurement of the patient and a current exercise parameter for the patient during a time period of the current blood glucose measurement from a user device controlled by the patient and in communication with the data processing hardware, wherein the user device;
receives, in a user interface executing on the user device, an input from the patient for the current exercise parameter; and
transmits the current blood glucose measurement of the patient and the current exercise parameter for the patient to the data processing hardware;
determining, by the data processing hardware, whether the current blood glucose measurement is less than the midpoint of the target blood glucose range for the patient;
when the current blood glucose measurement is less than the midpoint of the target blood glucose range for the patient;
determining, by the data processing hardware, carbohydrate intake instructions including a predetermined number of carbohydrates for the patient to ingest based on the exercise parameter; and
transmitting the carbohydrate intake instructions to the user device, the carbohydrate intake instructions when received by the user device, causing the user interface executing on the user device to display the predetermined number of carbohydrates for the patient to ingest; and
when the current blood glucose measurement exceeds the midpoint of the target blood glucose range for the patient;
determining, by the data processing hardware, independent of the exercise parameter, a correction dose based on a function of the current blood glucose measurement, the midpoint of the target blood glucose range and the insulin sensitivity factor; and
transmitting the correction dose from the data processing hardware to the user device, the correction dose, when received by the user device, causing the user interface executing on the user device to display the correction dose.

Abstract
A glycemic control system includes a physician processor, remote processor, and a portable telephone having a data input mechanism, a display, and an internal processor for bi-directional communication with the physician'"'"'s processor and the remote processor. A patient inputs data to the internal processor responsive to input from the physician'"'"'s processor and then transmits the information to the remote processor where an optimized number of units to be administered is sent back and displayed on the portable telephone.
