Intelligent Therapy Recommendation Algorithm and Method of Using the Same
First Claim
1. A method of automatically making a therapy recommendation to an insulin pump parameter, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a blood glucose value;
updating a recommended change to the pump parameter based on a previous recommended change to the pump parameter and the difference between the blood glucose value and a target blood glucose level;
comparing the updated recommended change to a threshold;
deriving the therapy recommendation if the updated recommended change exceeds the threshold;
confirming the therapy recommendation is within safety parameters; and
displaying the therapy recommendation;

Abstract
An algorithm and method of making intelligent therapy recommendations for insulin pump parameters is described. The pump parameters include basal rates, carbohydrate-to-insulin ratios (CIR), and insulin sensitivity factors (ISF). A determination of whether a therapy recommendation should be made is based on comparing an updated recommended change with a threshold. The updated recommended change to the pump parameter is made based on a previous recommended change to the pump parameter and the difference between a current blood glucose value and a targeted blood glucose level. The algorithm and method confirms the therapy recommendation is within safety parameters before displaying the therapy recommendation.

15. A method of automatically making a therapy recommendation for a basal rate on an insulin pump, the method comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining a blood glucose value at the end of a time interval; updating a recommended change to the basal rate based on a previous day recommended change to the basal rate during that interval and the difference between the blood glucose value and a target blood glucose level; comparing the updated recommended change to a threshold; deriving the therapy recommendation if the updated recommended change exceeds the threshold; confirming the therapy recommendation is within safety parameters; and displaying the therapy recommendation; - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
