1. A method of treating diabetes comprising:
- measuring interstitial fluid glucose concentration using a glucose monitor;
receiving insulin delivery data to reconstruct historical insulin concentration of a patient;
determining patient insulin sensitivity based on the measured interstitial fluid glucose concentration, the insulin delivery data, an estimated glucose rate of appearance, and an estimated insulin concentration; and
determining a diabetes treatment regime specific to the patient at a specific time based on the determined patient insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
A technique for treating diabetes that recognizes patient insulin sensitivity is a time-varying physiological parameter. The described techniques for treating diabetes include measuring interstitial fluid glucose concentration, reading insulin delivery data, determining patient insulin sensitivity based on the interstitial fluid glucose concentration and insulin delivery data, and a time-varying physiological parameter, and dispensing an insulin dose from an insulin delivery device based on the determined patient insulin sensitivity.
