CARBOHYDRATE RATIO TESTING USING FREQUENT BLOOD GLUCOSE INPUT
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to begin a carbohydrate ratio test 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 carbohydrate insulin bolus; and
a controller in electrical communication with the input and the user interface, the controller including a carbohydrate ratio module configured to;
establish a blood glucose baseline from a measure of an initial blood glucose level of the patient; and
determine a carbohydrate ratio according to a difference between a blood glucose level of the patient at the end of the specified time duration and the blood glucose baseline.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to begin a carbohydrate ratio test 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 carbohydrate insulin bolus), and a controller in electrical communication with the input and the user interface. The controller includes a carbohydrate ratio module configured to establish a blood glucose baseline from a measure of an initial blood glucose level of the patient, and determine a carbohydrate ratio according to a difference between a blood glucose level of the patient at the end of the specified time duration and the blood glucose baseline. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
