Abstract

According to some aspects of the present disclosure a method for presenting a GUI for modifying medical data on a handheld medical device is disclosed. The method includes determining a correction bolus amount and a meal bolus amount for the patient. The method also includes presenting the GUI on a display of the medical device and presenting the correction bolus amount, the meal bolus amount and a total bolus amount in the GUI. The method also includes presenting a correction bolus amount modification field and a meal bolus amount field in the GUI. The correction bolus amount modification field and the meal bolus amount modification field allow the patient to provide input to modify the correction bolus amount and meal bolus amount, respectively. The method further includes receiving the input and generating an advice history record based on the input.

Claims

1. A method for presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) for modifying medical data on a handheld diabetes management device, the method comprising:

determining a correction bolus amount value for a patient, the correction bolus amount value being indicative of a first amount of insulin to recommend to the patient to lower an elevated glucose level;

determining a meal bolus amount value, the meal bolus amount value being indicative of a second amount of insulin to recommend to the patient to counteract a carbohydrate intake documented by the patient;

presenting the GUI on a display of the medical device;

presenting the correction bolus amount value in the GUI;

presenting the meal bolus amount value in the GUI;

presenting a total bolus amount value, the total bolus amount value being equal to a sum of the correction bolus amount value and the meal bolus amount value;

presenting a correction bolus amount modification field in the GUI, the correction bolus amount modification field allowing the patient to provide first input that modifies the correction bolus amount value;

presenting a meal bolus amount modification field in the GUI, the meal bolus amount modification field allowing the patient to provide second input that modifies the meal bolus amount value;

receiving at least one of the first input and the second input;

generating an advice history record based on the at least one of the first input and the second input, the advice history record including at least one of a first indicator indicating that the correction bolus amount value was modified by the patient and a second indicator indicating that the meal bolus amount was modified by the patient;

storing the advice history record on a computer-readable memory of the medical device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the correction bolus amount is presented in the correction bolus amount modification field.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving a selection of the correction bolus amount modification field;

receiving an instruction to either increment or decrement the correction bolus amount by a predetermined value, wherein the instruction is the first input;

adjusting the correction bolus amount value based on the instruction; and

presenting the adjusted correction bolus amount value in the correction bolus amount modification field in place of the correction bolus amount value.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

adjusting the total amount bolus value based on the adjusted correction bolus amount value; and

presenting the adjusted total amount bolus value in place of the total amount bolus value.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the correction bolus amount is presented in the correction bolus amount modification field and the meal bolus amount is presented in the meal bolus amount modification field.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising

receiving a first selection of the correction bolus amount modification field;

receiving a first instruction to either increment or decrement the correction bolus amount by a predetermined value, wherein the first instruction is the first input;

adjusting the correction bolus amount value based on the first instruction;

presenting the adjusted correction bolus amount value in the correction bolus amount modification field in place of the correction bolus amount value;

receiving a second selection of the meal bolus amount modification field;

receiving a second instruction to either increment or decrement the meal bolus amount by the predetermined value, wherein the second instruction is the second input;

adjusting the meal bolus amount based on the instruction; and

presenting the adjusted meal bolus amount value in the meal bolus amount modification field in place of the meal bolus amount value.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

adjusting the total amount bolus value based on the adjusted meal bolus amount value and the adjusted correction bolus amount value; and

presenting the adjusted total amount bolus value in place of the total amount bolus value.

5. The method of 1, wherein the meal bolus amount is presented in the meal bolus amount modification field.

6. The method of 5, further comprising:

receiving a selection of the meal bolus amount modification field;

receiving an instruction to either increment or decrement the meal bolus amount by a predetermined value, wherein the instruction is the second input;

adjusting the meal bolus amount based on the instruction; and

presenting the adjusted meal bolus amount value in the meal bolus amount modification field in place of the meal bolus amount value.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

adjusting the total amount bolus value based on the adjusted meal bolus amount value; and

presenting the adjusted total amount bolus value in place of the total amount bolus value.

11. A handheld diabetes management device having one or more processors and a computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the handheld diabetes management device to perform operations comprising:

determining a correction bolus amount value for the patient, the correction bolus amount value being indicative of a first amount of insulin to recommend to a patient to lower an elevated blood glucose level;

determining a meal bolus amount value, the meal bolus amount value being indicative of a second amount of insulin to recommend to the patient to counteract a carbohydrate intake documented by the patient;

presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display of the medical device;

presenting the correction bolus amount value in the GUI;

presenting the meal bolus amount value in the GUI;

presenting a total bolus amount value, the total bolus amount value being equal to a sum of the correction bolus amount value and the meal bolus amount value;

presenting a correction bolus amount modification field in the GUI, the correction bolus amount modification field allowing the patient to provide first input that modifies the correction bolus amount value;

presenting a meal bolus amount modification field in the GUI, the meal bolus amount modification field allowing the patient to provide second input that modifies the meal bolus amount value;

receiving at least one of the first input and the second input;

generating an advice history record based on the at least one of the first input and the second input, the advice history record including at least one of a first indicator indicating that the correction bolus amount value was modified by the patient and a second indicator indicating that the meal bolus amount was modified by the patient;
