Systems, Methods and Devices for Achieving Glycemic Balance
First Claim
16. A method for updating a patient'"'"'s insulin dosage regimen, the method comprising:
- storing one or more components of the patient'"'"'s insulin dosage regime;
obtaining data corresponding to the patient'"'"'s blood glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times;
incrementing a timer based on at least one of the passage of a predetermined amount of time and the receipt of each blood glucose-level measurement;
tagging each of the blood glucose-level measurements with an identifier reflective of when the reading was obtained;
determining for each of the obtained blood glucose-level measurements whether the measurement reflects a hypoglycemic event or a severe hypoglycemic event; and
varying at least one of the one or more components in the patient'"'"'s insulin dosage regime in response to a determination that the most recent blood glucose-level measurement represents a severe hypoglycemic event.

Abstract
Systems, methods and/or devices for optimizing a patient'"'"'s insulin dosage regimen over time, comprising at least a first memory for storing data inputs corresponding at least to one or more components in a patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen, and data inputs corresponding at least to the patient'"'"'s blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times, and a processor operatively connected to the at least first memory. The processor is programmed at least to determine from the data inputs corresponding to the patient'"'"'s blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times whether and by how much to vary at least one of the one or more components in the patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen. Also disclosed are systems, methods and/or devices for treating a patient'"'"'s diabetes by providing treatment guidance, wherein the patient'"'"'s current glycemic state is determined relative to a desired balance point; and determining from at least one of a plurality of the data corresponding to the patient'"'"'s blood glucose-level measurements whether and by how much to vary at least one of the one or more components in the patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen to get closer to the patient'"'"'s desired balance point; wherein the desired balance point is the patient'"'"'s lowest blood glucose-level within a predetermined range achievable before increasing the frequency of hypoglycemic events above a predetermined threshold.

18-1. The method of claim 17 wherein the hypoglycemic event is defined as a blood glucose-level measurement of between 50 mg/dL and 75 mg/dL.
-
19-2. The method of claim 17 wherein the severe hypoglycemic events are included in the determination that there have been an excessive number of hypoglycemic events.
