Insulin management
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at data processing hardware, a glucose measurement of a patient;
determining, by the data processing hardware, a glucose type of the received glucose measurement;
when the determined glucose type comprises one of a pre-lunch glucose measurement or a pre-dinner glucose measurement;
obtaining, by the data processing hardware, a previous Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio (CIR) for an immediately previous meal consumed by the patient, the immediately previous meal consumed by the patient comprising one of breakfast when the determined glucose type comprises the pre-lunch glucose measurement or lunch when the determined glucose type comprises the pre-dinner glucose type;
adjusting, by the data processing hardware, the previous CIR for the immediately previous meal consumed by the patient based on the received glucose measurement; and
determining, by the data processing hardware, a recommended meal bolus for the determined glucose type based on the adjusted previous CIR, the recommended meal bolus corresponding to an insulin dose of rapid-acting insulin to be administered to the patient at the time of day associated with the determined glucose type to bring and maintain the patient'"'"'s glucose level into a target range; and
transmitting, from the data processing hardware, to a patient device remotely located from the data processing hardware and in communication with the data processing hardware via a network, the recommended meal bolus at the time of day associated with the determined glucose type, the recommended meal bolus when received by the patient device causing the patient device to display a number of units of insulin for the patient to administer using the recommended meal bolus.

Abstract
A method of administering insulin includes receiving blood glucose measurements of a patient at a data processing device from a glucometer. The blood glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method also includes receiving patient information at the data processing device and selecting a subcutaneous insulin treatment from a collection of subcutaneous insulin treatments. The selection is based on the blood glucose measurements and the patient information. The selection includes one or more of a subcutaneous standard program, a subcutaneous program without meal boluses, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program without carbohydrate counting, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program with carbohydrate counting, and a subcutaneous program for non-diabetic patients. The method also includes executing, using the data processing device, the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment.

12. A system comprising:
-
data processing hardware; and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware and storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising; receiving a glucose measurement of a patient; determining a glucose type of the received glucose measurement; when the determined glucose type comprises one of a pre-lunch glucose measurement or a pre-dinner glucose measurement; obtaining a previous Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio (CIR) for an immediately previous meal consumed by the patient, the immediately previous meal consumed by the patient comprising one of breakfast when the determined glucose type comprises the pre-lunch glucose measurement or lunch when the determined glucose type comprises the pre-dinner glucose type; adjusting the previous CIR for the immediately previous meal consumed by the patient based on the received glucose measurement; and determining a recommended meal bolus for the determined glucose type based on the adjusted previous CIR, the recommended meal bolus corresponding to an insulin dose of rapid-acting insulin to be administered to the patient at the time of day associated with the determined glucose type to bring and maintain the patient'"'"'s glucose level into a target range; and transmitting the recommended meal bolus to a patient device in communication with the data processing hardware at the time of day associated with the determined glucose type, the recommended meal bolus when received by the patient device causing the patient device to display a number of units of insulin for the patient to administer using the recommended meal bolus. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
