SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING HBA1C, TREATMENT RESPONSE, AND HYPOGLYCEMIA RISK USING SELF-MONITORING OF BLOOD GLUCOSE DATA
First Claim
1. A system for evaluating SMBG data and selecting insulin treatment comprising:
- a memory configured to store code;
a processor communicating with the memory storing code causing the processor to;
retrieve data comprising a plurality of blood glucose readings from the memory;
select a time period;
calculate a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) for the selected time period;
estimate adjustments to the calculated HbA1c for changes in the blood glucose readings;
calculate a contribution of each blood glucose reading from the retrieving to glycemic load; and
generate a treatment plan for regulating blood glucose in the patient.

Abstract
A system and method for estimating HbA1c, diabetic patient treatment response and hypoglycemia risk using data obtained from patient self-monitoring of blood glucose. The system includes a computer having a processor, data storage, display, and data input ports. The data storage stores an insulin manager module that has instructions performed by the processor when self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBD) data is provided to the computer via one of the data input ports. The processor uses the SMBD data to generate reports displaying estimated HbAIc and other factors effecting blood glucose levels in a diabetic patient and prescribes insulin treatment plans.

13. A method for providing advisories for the insulin dosage of a patient, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a plurality of blood glucose readings; selecting a time period; projecting a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) for the selected time period; estimating adjustments to the calculated HbA1c for changes in the blood glucose readings; calculating a contribution of each reading from said to excess glycemic load; and providing treatment recommendations for regulating blood glucose in the patient. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
