CORRECTION FACTOR TESTING USING FREQUENT BLOOD GLUCOSE INPUT
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to begin determination of an effective correction factor when prompted by a user;
an input configured to receive sampled blood glucose data of a patient that is obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration after delivery of an initial insulin correction bolus; and
a controller in electrical communication with the input and the user interface, the controller including a correction factor module configured for determining an effective correction factor according to an amount of insulin in the initial insulin correction bolus and a decrease in the blood glucose level determined using the sampled blood glucose data.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to begin determination of an effective correction factor when prompted by a user, an input configured to receive sampled blood glucose data of a patient that is obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration after delivery of an initial insulin correction bolus, and a controller in electrical communication with the input and the user interface. The controller includes a correction factor module configured for determining an effective correction factor according to an amount of insulin in the initial insulin correction bolus and a decrease in the blood glucose level determined using the sampled blood glucose data. Other devices and methods are disclosed.

48. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving a user prompt in a BG management device to start a determination of an effective correction factor; means for receiving sampled blood glucose data of a patient obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration after delivery of an initial insulin correction bolus; and means for determining the effective correction factor using the BG management device according to a determined decrease in the blood glucose level of the patient and the amount of insulin in the initial insulin correction bolus.
