Insulin pump for determining carbohydrate consumption
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of regulating blood glucose using an insulin pump, the method comprising:
- storing a target blood glucose level in the pump;
receiving a current blood glucose level;
comparing the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level; and
upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculating a carbohydrate value required to change the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level.

Abstract
Methods of regulating blood glucose using an insulin pump are disclosed. A method includes storing a target blood glucose level in the pump. The method also includes receiving a current blood glucose level, and comparing the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level. The method further includes, upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculating a carbohydrate value required to change the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level.

12. An insulin pump comprising:
-
a pump mechanism; a memory configured to store a target blood glucose level; a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory, the programmable circuit programmed to; receive a current blood glucose level; compare the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level; and upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculate a carbohydrate value required to change the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method of regulating blood glucose using an insulin pump, the method comprising:
-
storing a target blood glucose level in the pump; receiving a current blood glucose level; comparing the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level; upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculating a carbohydrate value required to change the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level, based on one or more correction factors; and displaying an alert message on a display incorporated into the pump, the alert message including an editable carbohydrate value and the current blood glucose value. - View Dependent Claims (24)
