DISEASE SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A computer system for diabetes management, comprising:
- (a) an electronic device for measuring glucose values; and
(b) a personal computer for receiving the glucose values measured by the device, wherein the personal computer comprises;
(i) a microprocessor;
(ii) a memory having digital code embedded therein for programming the microprocessor to calculate diabetes care values and to generate a representation based on one or more optimal glucose values, insulin dose values of a patient, said measured glucose values received from said device, and one or more scaling factors for weighting the impact on a glucose value and that is customizable to an individual patient to illustrate the effect on the glucose value of insulin dose actions performed by the individual patient; and
(iii) a display configured to display information according to said diabetes care values including said representation.

Abstract
A system and method for predicting the effect of patient self-care actions on a disease control parameter. A future disease control parameter value X(tj) at time tj is determined from a prior disease control parameter value X(ti) at time ti based on an optimal control parameter value R(tj) at time tj, the difference between the prior disease control parameter value X(ti) and an optimal control parameter value R(ti) at time ti, and a set of differentials between patient self-care parameters having patient self-care values SM(ti) at time ti and optimal self-care parameters having optimal self-care values OM(ti) at time ti. The differentials are multiplied by corresponding scaling factors KM. The system includes an input device for entering the patient self-care values SM(ti). A memory stores the optimal control parameter values R(ti) and R(tj), the prior disease control parameter value X(ti), the optimal self-care values OM(ti), and the scaling factors KM. A processor in communication with the input device and memory calculates the future disease control parameter value X(tj). A display is connected to the processor to display the future disease control parameter value X(tj) to a patient.
