BASAL RATE TESTING USING FREQUENT BLOOD GLUCOSE INPUT
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to start a basal insulin rate 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 when insulin is delivered according to a specified basal insulin rate pattern; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the input and the user interface, the controller including an insulin calculation module, wherein the insulin calculation module is configured to determine at least one of an amount of basal insulin over-delivered and an amount of basal insulin under-delivered during the basal insulin rate test in trying to meet a target blood glucose baseline.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to start a basal insulin rate 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 during delivery of insulin according to a specified basal insulin rate pattern, and a controller communicatively coupled to the input and the user interface. The controller includes an insulin calculation module configured for determining at least one of an amount of basal insulin over-delivered and an amount of basal insulin under-delivered during the basal insulin rate test in trying to meet a target blood glucose baseline. Other devices and methods are disclosed.

30. A method comprising:
-
receiving a user prompt in a blood glucose (BG) management device to start a basal insulin rate test; receiving sampled blood glucose data into the BG management device, wherein the sampled blood glucose data is obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration when insulin is delivered according to a specified basal insulin rate pattern; and determining at least one of an amount of basal insulin over-delivered and an amount of basal insulin under-delivered in trying to meet a target blood glucose baseline during the basal insulin rate test. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)

54. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving a user prompt in a blood glucose (BG) management device to start a basal insulin rate test; means for receiving sampled blood glucose data of a patient into a blood glucose (BG) management device, wherein the sampled blood glucose data is obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration during delivery of insulin according to a specified basal insulin rate pattern; and means for determining at least one of an amount of basal insulin over-delivered and an amount of basal insulin under-delivered in trying to meet a target blood glucose baseline during the basal insulin rate test using the BG management device.
