Abstract
Disclosed is a medical device to treat diabetes. The medical device includes a bolus calculator to determine an insulin bolus based on, at least in part, a glycemic index value associated with an intake to be consumed by a user, the bolus calculator further adapted to determine the insulin bolus using one or more inputs selected from the group consisting of carbohydrate load of the intake, current glucose level of the user, residual insulin of the user, carbohydrate to insulin ratio, insulin sensitivity of the user and target glucose level of the user. The bolus calculator is housed in one or more of, for example, an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control unit for an insulin dispensing pump and/or a handheld glucose monitor.

41. A medical device to treat diabetes, the medical device comprising:
-
a processor; a bolus calculator application comprising computer instructions to operate on the processor for calculation of a bolus, wherein the computer instructions calculate the bolus based on, at least in part, a carbohydrate load of a food intake to be consumed by a user, current glucose level of the user, residual insulin of the user, carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio of the user, insulin sensitivity of the user, and target glucose level of the user; wherein the processor is housed in one or more of; an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control for an insulin dispensing pump and a handheld glucose monitor; and wherein the computer instructions further include instructions to reevaluate the effect of the carbohydrate load based on a value associated with a glycemic index of the food intake. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)

57. A medical device to treat diabetes, the medical device comprising:
-
a bolus calculator to determine an insulin bolus based on, at least in part, on a glycemic index dependent multiplier factor, wherein a glycemic index value is associated with an intake to be consumed by a user, and the multiplier factor is multiplied by the food estimate portion of the recommended bolus, the bolus calculator being further adapted to determine the insulin bolus based on one or more inputs selected from the group consisting of carbohydrate load of the intake, current glucose level of the user, residual insulin of the user, carbohydrate to insulin ratio, insulin sensitivity of the user and target glucose level of the user, wherein the bolus calculator is housed in one or more of an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control unit for an insulin dispensing pump and a handheld glucose monitor.

58. A method for treating diabetes, the method comprising:
-
providing a processor housed in at least one an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control for an insulin dispensing pump and a handheld glucose monitor; providing a bolus calculator application comprising computer instructions for operating on the processor to determine a bolus for delivery to a user; receiving input comprising a carbohydrate load of a food intake to be consumed by a user, current glucose level of the user, residual insulin of the user, carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio of the user, insulin sensitivity of the user, and target glucose level of the user; determining the bolus based at least in part on the carbohydrate load of a food intake to be consumed by a user, the current glucose level of the user, the residual insulin of the user, the carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio of the user, the insulin sensitivity of the user, and the target glucose level of the user; reevaluating an effect of the carbohydrate load based on a value associated with a glycemic index of the food intake. - View Dependent Claims (59, 60, 61, 62)
