First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of estimating human insulin absorption for use in an insulin pump, the method comprising:
- prompting a user to select between a first insulin absorption model and a second insulin absorption model on a user interface associated with an insulin pump;
prompting a user to input at least one model parameter on the user interface; and
forming an applied insulin absorption model operable with the pump from the selected insulin absorption model and the at least one model parameter, the applied insulin absorption model used to estimate a remaining amount of insulin in the user'"'"'s body at a given time after insulin has been delivered to the user.

Abstract
Methods of estimating human insulin absorption for use in an insulin pump are disclosed. A method includes prompting a user to select between a first insulin absorption model and a second insulin absorption model. The method also includes prompting a user to provide at least one model parameter. The method further includes forming an applied insulin absorption model from the selected insulin absorption model and the at least one model parameter.

19. An insulin pump comprising:
-
a pump mechanism; a memory configured to store a first insulin absorption model, a second insulin absorption model, and at least one model parameter; a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory, the programmable circuit programmed to; prompt a user to select between the first insulin absorption model and the second insulin absorption model on a user interface associated with the insulin pump; prompt a user to provide the at least one model parameter on the user interface; and form an applied insulin absorption model operable with the pump from the selected insulin absorption model and the at least one model parameter, the applied insulin absorption model used to estimate a remaining amount of insulin in the user'"'"'s body at a given time after insulin has been delivered to the user. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method of estimating human insulin absorption for use in an insulin pump, the method comprising:
-
prompting a user to select between a linear absorption model and a nonlinear insulin absorption model on a user interface associated with an insulin pump; prompting a user to input a duration of insulin absorption on the user interface; prompting a user to input a start time on the user interface; prompting a user to input a tail time on the user interface; forming an applied insulin absorption model operable with the insulin pump from the selected insulin absorption model, the duration, the start time, and the tail time; employing the applied insulin absorption model to calculate an insulin level of the user at a time after insulin has been delivered to the user. - View Dependent Claims (30)
